ok this is for a chat i'm making and i dont want it eating the comps resources when its running.

right now when i run my program it uses 8mb ram and 100% cpu usage the ram part is ok but how would i lower the cpu usage?.

i come bumped into the same problem in blitz basic and it was easy fixed with a delay(1) in the main loop that took the 100% to 0% and it was still running great

More memory would help to start with. Next, try and get your program to sleep until something happens, which may help.

delete or hide unnecesary objects, images etc... they slow down DB ALOT! also try to drop your sync rate to about 20 if it still looks good... you could try reducing the amount of commands used, that is, use arrays and functions for repeated tasks, just generally try to keep the amount of information that is used to a minimum... and it helps to make use of external files, like reading text files for matrix data etc, less loading is needed for the main program that way...

hope i helped
