<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi again,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i was annoyed ( and you must have been too
)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that, during a sonogram update,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>one couldn't use the GUI anymore</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so, i introduced a new control message
:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>sleeptime 100000, 200000, 500000, 1000000,
....( more ?? )</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this puts the update thread to sleep
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>after each slice of 5 blocks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>if this value is high, the update is very
slow</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but you can still use the GUI.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>if it's too low, you'll be back to previous
situation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the correct value has to be tuned for each
machine</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>( not only the CPU matters, but the wm you're
running, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and much more parameters ).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of course, a new archive is available</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and i also put the grid object which i had in my
bag.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it's a 2-dimentionnal control object, ala
"kaospad".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>speaking of this, does anyone used a "kaospad"
???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>if yes, which parameters do you control with X and
Y ???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cheers,</FONT></DIV>
