No way. I mean, I'm the biggest critic of Windows operating systems when used in realtime environments (at least with my customers), but there's no way you should "probably expect a 200s delay to happen". (You can't guarantee it won't, but seeing it on a regular basis is sending a clear message that something *else* is going on. Dennis' guess seems a good one.) > If you need real time characteristics, you should > probably use a real time operating system, not Windows. Quite true. I doubt the OP needs that though. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
