Exclamation Re: Windows 7 problem?

Andy has made some changes to the code which I am testing on my machine ( an 11 year old Dell running a 797 Mhz Intel Chip ) that show CPU usage dropping 33% when the game is idle and dropping 49% when run in the background in windowed mode . Previous to this change, CPU usage on my machine was 100% at all times the game was running no matter if the game was running in the foreground or background so this is a significant improvement.

We will be running more tests over the next couple of weeks but right now this looks like a viable solution to overactive CPU usage by the game.
