Optimizing CPU usage
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Optimizing CPU usage

| I have been messing with CPU usage and CShop, and thought I would mention that a WaitEvent() uses MUCH less CPU power than a similar loop of Blitz code, like a While MouseXSpeed()=0 kind of thing. Thought it would be useful to know. |

| That's the basic idea -- with WaitEvent () your program waits quietly for a window event to occur before it does anything, unlike 'regular' Blitz code where it's always trying to do something (unless you stick a Delay () in)... |

| or use WaitTimer... |

| use waitevent(1) |
