SV: [Algorithms] Time issue

[Joakim E. <jm...@sn...>]

No I'm running on Win2k and it's single threaded.
Something I did notice was that some Direct X 8 examples also behaves
badly.
It was the "Billboard" and the "Point sprites" examples. They work
perfectly when they are running in a small window but if I resize
the window to my screen resolution (1600x1200) then they become
very jerky. The smaller the window the better they behaved.=20
On another machine with the exact same setup this didn't happen.
The only time it did was when he moved his mouse to some icons on
task bar.
This points of course to some hiden background task or other such thing
but what I don't get is why no other game behaves like this.
I suspect they go into a form of exclusive mode. Even when they run in
window mode. So now the question is. How to do that.

Is your physics code running in a seperate thread to your main process
on a
Win98 machine by any chance?  If this is the case than I suspect you've
run
into Win98's 'spiky' threading problem (Doesn't occur under NT/2000
OS's).
