One thing to watch out for is that Win 98 and NT both normally give a priority boost to the window that has the focus. You can adjust the degree of boost (and if you do a lot of benchmarking you might want to set it to zero). If you don't change it, you want to be sure that your program has the focus or runs in the windows that has it. --Jon On March 04, 1999 at 17:12:46, Peter Kasinski wrote: >I tried runnig Pedestrian under Win98 and was shocked by how much slower it was >than under NT.
