Re:Socket receiving data SLOW in Win XP/2k, fine in Win 98
Thanks for the reply. =]
No servers on XP/2K, only clients. The server runs from a *NIX box, windows
would be silly. =]
Anyway, CPU usage ranges from 0% to 3%, with or without the sleep, so I
don't believe it's that.
I'd blame my code, if it didn't work so well on 98, and I just tested it on
Win95, and it worked mint there as well.
Only XP and 2K that have problems.............I'll probably give NT4 a test
as well.
Still looking for suggestions! And just in case anyone thinks it, I checked
mem usage as well, and that's not very high at all either.
Thanks!
