That'd be because your C program isn't doing all the stuff that RB is doing (checking to see if timers need firing, servicing other threads, checking whether command-period has been pressed, etc.).

What is command-period for?

Detecting when the user is trying desperately to break out of whatever you're doing (it hooks into UserCancelled).

Shouldn't you check for command-period only if UserCancelled is used?
