But you keep coming back later and saying things which are, at best,
misleading, like: "in C you have total control, so you can pick and
chose what to deal with and what to ignore, and how often to yield to
background tasks. In RB, you're a slave to the runtime." This clearly
implies that you can't choose how often to yield to background tasks.
Perhaps you understand that that's not true, and didn't mean to imply
it, but a new user could easily be fooled.
Yes I can see that "how often" may be misleading...
Instead, let's agree on something like this: "In RB, you can choose
how often to yield, but when you do yield it seems to take longer than
it should, at least under some circumstances."
OK, Agreed. That has always been my point (I just kept calling it
sleep/wait time). I apologize if I didn't make that clear earlier, but
hopefully it is now.
Frank.
