I think the Warp code is similar enough to 2.1 that the "problem" would persist, but I
suspect the APAR was referring to "badly"-behaved DOS apps. There are some, like Agenda,
which really seem to need to poll the CPU almost constantly, but I suppose there are a few which
don't really have to but have something in them which is always "raising its hand" for no
good reason. I haven't used XyWin so I don't really know whether it's one of them.

See if you can find a file called "Tunewarp.Zip" -- I know it's in the OS2 libraries on
Compuserve, it may be on Hobbes -- it can help. There's also a utility called ConfigInfo which is
immensely useful.
