Has anyone else noticed this? I have been finding recently, that under Windows XP in particular, that if I open the world configuration, and then close it (hit Esc) there seems to be a long pause. Recent testing seemed to show that MUSHclient's CPU utilization went up to about 50%.
It doesn't seem to happen on my development machine (Windows NT), and for a while I wasn't sure if I was imagining it.
Since closing the dialog with Esc shouldn't involve any great processing, I am at a loss to explain what the few seconds of 50% CPU utilization is. In fact, I think under XP any one process is limited to 50% CPU (or maybe it is because I have dual CPUs), so it is doing something, I don't know what, really hard.
If this is happening to other people, then at least it isn't something specific to that particular PC.
