As I have suggested before (long ago, however!), one should not get too
upset at the nominal 100% usage reported for the TS server. A polling loop
is obviously being performed somewhere in the IPC (inter-process
communication) function. The CPU is readily relinquished, however, to any
other process which needs it. [I should add, however, that this may be true
ONLY when running on Win NT and when TS is run in its own, separate
virtual-DOS machine - NTVDM. I'm not familiar with Win 95/98 - it may not
be possible to run 16-bit apps as independent processes on those OSes.]
