Hello All!

I have a PM program that sets up a main window, then kicks off a thread to do
some processing, which is time intensive.  It reports the results back by
posting messages to a listbox, which gradually fills with my data. using
WinSendMessage (so the thread has its own message queue.)

This thread, which repeatedly retreives data from the INI files and scans
it for specific substrings, brings my P90 to its knees.   Everything else
is VERY slow whilst the scanning is taking place.  However, adding a
DosSleep(1) to tell the thread to give up its timeslice now and again seems
to cure the problem.

Why is this happening?  OS/2 isn't supposed to let one process hog
processor time like that, is it?  Is it something to do with the message
queues?
