Instead, let's agree on something like this: "In RB, you can choose

Then we can do productive things like work out exactly what those
circumstances are (considering OS, Carbon/Classic, version of RB,
etc.), and whether we at RS can do anything to speed it up, rather
than spending time clarifying that you really can choose when to > yield.
That seems reasonable.
While on the subject of yielding, there's something I've always
wondered about ever since Mac OS X came out. Does RB still yield time
to external processes (programs other than our own) when running on Mac
OS X. With preemptive multitasking, I would think that this would no
longer be required (or desired). If it still doing so, why?
