Talk:Preemptive multitasking
From RISC OS
Jump to navigationJump to search
A very interesting article. I have used Wimp2 on my RiscPC for quite some time now. You are right that it is not a complete solution, but I do think it works well in some cases - specifically when unzipping a large archive with sparkplug comes to mind. The patch which has been released allows you to select which applications should be used with Wimp2, so by some trial and error it is possible to get the "most" out of it. I suppose a "fix" should be transparent to the end user, but hey ROS users are used to tinkering with the system ;) Polas
