WaitForUpdates Performance

[arent_t]

I wrote several applications that use the waitforupdates function to monitor certain events, but all of them use nearly 50% of my CPU irrespective of the filters I am creating. Is this normal ?

What OS and SDK language are you using?

[arent_t]

Windows 2003 or XP, VB.NET

Anybody ? Or is this just a normal behaviour ?

[tmilner]

No its not normal. I've written a couple of apps that hang waiting for the next "page" of events and the cpu load on the client is nothing.

arent_t,

Im going to see if our SDK Dev Support team can take a look, right now we are swamped but might be able to sneak some time in.

I will PM you with more info.

Thanks
