#3 PocketPC/ARM VM slow to start?

[Dan Egnor]

I downloaded the VM for Pocket PC/ARM (i.e. Windows CE
on iPaq). It works, but it takes several seconds to
launch (either waba.exe itself, or any .lnk I
generate). If I'm patient and wait 15 seconds or so,
it finally comes up, and then it works great.

The earlier (?) version of the VM from Sanjeev Datla's
page doesn't have this problem.

How can I figure out what it's doing during that time?
(My desktop is Linux, so it's unfortunately
inconvenient for me to build PPC executables.)

Sorry, this is because of
my ALWAYS-RUNNING-THREAD-SCHEDULER.

It always takes 100% of CPU loading.
Although most of the time it's light enough that
it's not so noticable.

If you're running many application on the background,
OS's memory managemnet might conflict with the scheduler
heavily.

I'm side-tracked to something else right now,
that missing some opportunity to implement
the native threads.

I'll come around and do it,
as the air tempreture in my room
goes down to a comfortable level.
(It's still hot here in my town.)
