1) DOS prompts are a red herring. They'll always flatline the CPU because
they're a special case that has to be polled.
2) pskilling WinVNC is a bad plan from an efficiency point of view. It can
end up leaving hooks in all the running apps which won't be removed until
they quit. Quitting WinVNC cleanly is much better!
Do you get thsi effect with non-DOS windows?
