I find that Borland C++ Builder builds slow down by a few orders of magnitude when
BCB is in the foreground compiling and I have a bunch of browser pages in FireFox
pegging the CPU. I would have expected the OS to give the foreground task more time
to run. But maybe most of the Flash CPU overhead is in some driver and time in the
driver isn't doled out by the task scheduler.

Again, I have a rather dim view of Windows's task scheduler.
