Hi Jacob, I think that this is "normal". BP2 still uses the old Mac OS Event Manager instead of the newer Carbon Event Manager. This means that BP2 must constantly "poll" for user input events like mouse clicks. Other programs should still get plenty of CPU time on OS X, but BP2 will eat up the "unused" time. * When you say you "had to kill it", was this because the program was unresponsive or just because you saw how much CPU time it was using? Thanks for your feedback. Anthony Kozar mailing-lists-1001 AT anthonykozar DOT net http://anthonykozar.net/ * I'd like soon to move BP towards being a Universal Binary that will build with Apple's XCode tools instead of CodeWarrior. Once we do that, it will be easier for other developers to contribute to the project, and then we may see some of the anachronistic code get rewritten.
