I haven't yet used any compilers under OS/2 except gcc/emx.  I wrote a
program to help solve a puzzle in a game, invloving moving some
bishops on a chess like board.  Anyway, it was a CPU intensive program
that ran for say 30 seconds on my machine.  Now, the weird thing is
this...  normally I find that when I move focus away from a running
program that it's priority drops and hence it slows a little; well, at
least if something else is running at the same time.  Now, with my
program running in a window, it ran MUCH faster when I moved the focus
from the window.  I mean the output scrolled at least twice as fast.
Also, the WPS shell became unusable because, I assume, the program was
stealing all the CPU.  This was weird!  Can anyone enlighten me?
