Is there any way to tell my game to not use 100% of the CPU usage, or at least give it up when another application needs it?

You can insert a 'Sleep(1);' into your code just after the 'dbSync();' calls.

If some other application wants system time, and your app sleeps, then other apps will get a full timeslice if they need it.

What if the game takes up so much cpu power not due to syncing, but due to very intense calculations?

This should be the same as DBpro's CPU usage. Search for CPU in the DBpo board; the first two results are especially helpful.

In which case you need to do the message processing.
