Mark,
I have to make a little correction.

Actually (as I posted before), both numbers (95-100% in standard mode and
60-75% with direct output) are not correct because Omega uses timer-based
port polling, so hardware interrupts are generated continiously and _this_
makes your machine busy. With the direct output, the "empty
cycles" are exiting immediately without generation of hardware interrupts,
so the CPU is released immediately and, despite of numbers shown by Task
Manager, you may work with the other tasks.
