Douglas,

Same here. I posted about this sometime last year after discovering
that WP 6.1 did not max out the CPU. XyWin is the only Windows app I
have used that does this under OS/2. The good news is that in terms of
system usability it does not seem to matter. In my experience, OS/2
neither slows down nor shows degradation in multi-tasking despite what
XyWin is doing to the CPU. Conclusion: I don't worry about it anymore.
In fact, if I did not use PMPatrol I probably wouldn't know this was
happening.

Cheers,
John Gordon
