I believe that Sleep(1) is non-portable, so rest(1) would be the preferred method.

I think it is better if you work around the bug:

#if (ALLEGRO_SUB_VERSION < 1) && defined (ALLEGRO_WINDOWS)
    #define yield_timeslice() Sleep(1)
#endif

yield_timeslice should be calling Sleep(0), not Sleep(1). Either way though, calling rest(0) should have the same effect as the old, proper yield_timeslice, while rest(1) has the same effect as the current version.

I've used rest(1) in my loops before, and i've had great sucess with it...

anyone knows a good tool to monitor cpu usage (of seperated threads) for win9x ?
would be nice so that i see if my program has lag cause of missing cpu performcane or cause of bad network code.
:-)
btw where are the smileys gone?

For just total CPU usage you can use the system monitor.

As for the smileys, the King of the Potato People has taken them. You'll have to fly to him on a magic carpet and plead with him to get them back.
