And I am not moving the mouse or >anything! Is input.device taking half my 68030 power???? Note that intuition runs on input.device. I suspect Xoper is being fooled by the fact that you were doing something with intuition in order to tell Xoper to save those results away. The proper way to measure that would be to have xoper measure usage starting after the selection (and perhaps have a delay before starting to allow the system to go back to normal.) It also may well be an artifact of how XOper measures this, though it's impossible to test. A better test: do a dhrystone without touching the mouse. Now do a dhrystone while waving the mouse around as much as possible. The difference may be measurable, but will by no means be ~50%. You could also disable around the dhrystone, to see the total difference all other tasks and all interrupts make. Note that vblank is an appreciable amount of this amount, and any commodities can have a large affect on the amount time used by input.device! -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Disclaimer: Nothing I say is anything other than my personal opinion.
