Dosemu and clipper applications eating all CPU
I have similar problem with Clipper app. In some menus, the CPU is
100% consumed by a loop, an AthlonXP1900+ :o) Note the program ran on 386 in past. There are two users working simultaneously (one thru thin client) and sometimes the response is VERY slow; program even fails to display entered letters in realtime.
In other section I have strictly different problem. When some
database-intensive actions are taken, typically reindexing, the CPU is used by some 1% and thus the operation runs VERY slow too. Computer is bored and user too :o(
If somebody fixed these two issues (if I were programmer, I would),
I'd very like it. Or can somebody do it for some symbolical amount of money? Although there could be a little difficulty paying from my country..
Have a nice day

I'm still trying to solve this problem, I've been testing some different usleep times in different int calls, and the best I could achieve was 75% of CPU usage when idle, 1% when busy, with a very slow responsiveness, but usable, up to 3 users.
Vanilla dosemu eats 98% CPU, 1-2% when idle, and has an excellent responsiveness when there is only 1 user. And its still usable with 2 users, if there is a third it becomes unresponsive.

It's pretty annoying that when the application is doing something it drops the cpu usage.

In my case, it's not about money. I have to fix this so my users don't kill me. But you are encouraged to donate money to the dosemu project.
