NA> You start Task Manager, right-click on the D'Bridge process, and click
NA> "Set affinity". You then assign only one CPU to run it on.
I have it set
NA> here for CPU-0 and that solved the problem instantly.

Cool, I never noticed that setting before in TaskManager.  I assume you
have that setup at startup in a batch file or something so you don't have
to manually set affinity each time you run it.

In general, D'Bridge handles CPU cycles rather well and gives up
timeslices. There are only a few "spots" where the CPU goes to
100%.  I have the same issue with WWIVTOSS - only when in the WSETUP
program which builds this fancy ANSI configuration menu.  I can't fix the
code without a re-write since it uses pre-compiled *.OBJ files to build
that menu.  

The nice thing about that type of "feature" is in the cold winter
months it helps heat heat the room.. :)
