Humm.... I wonder if this is contributing the slowness I've been seeing during process creation.... In your opinion, is this code (sleep) likely to be hit often? By any chance, how do you know how sleep is implemented, does it use the OS to be awakened, or does it loop? Brett ---------------------------------------------------------------- Brett C.
