[GD-Windows] Suspending execution

[Brian H. <bri...@py...>]

Okay, next question up.  My current game is doing the traditional "run
as fast as you can" model of execution, which eats CPU like mad stupid
crazy.  The traditional loop is:

while ( PeekMessage( ... ) )
{
    if ( GetMessage( ... ) ) 
    { 
        Translate/DispatchMessage( ... );
    }
    else
    {
        //app quit
    }
}

To avoid hammering the CPU, I'm thinking of slightly changing it to:

if ( bPaused )
{
   WaitMessage();
}

//do regular loop here

Are there any hidden gotchas with WaitMessage()?

One other thing I've noticed is that I'm constantly getting WM_MOUSEMOVE
messages even if the mouse isn't moving (confirmed with Spy++).  I
assume this is expected behaviour?
