Hi again. I tryed letting my program runn for a few hours, and it seams to move on, but it is so very slow, and i dont know if it actualy does what it should be doing. I ran +comm,+file while I tryed this, and something like this seams to take mutch of the time. trace:file:FILE_AsyncReadService 0x40f3cce8 0x40f4ad94 00000001 trace:file:FILE_AsyncReadService read 3 more bytes 10/1024 so far trace:file:GetOverlappedResult wait on 0x40f3cd10 returned 0 trace:file:GetOverlappedResult (120 0x40f3cd10 0x41856f18 1) trace:file:GetOverlappedResult waiting on 0x40f3cd10 trace:file:FILE_AsyncReadService 0x40f3cce8 0x40f4ad94 00000001 trace:file:FILE_AsyncReadService read 3 more bytes 13/1024 so far trace:file:FILE_AsyncReadService 0x40f3cce8 0x40f4ad94 00000001 trace:file:FILE_AsyncReadService read 4 more bytes 17/1024 so far trace:file:GetOverlappedResult wait on 0x40f3cd10 returned 0 trace:file:GetOverlappedResult (120 0x40f3cd10 0x41856f18 1) trace:file:GetOverlappedResult waiting on 0x40f3cd10 it slovly gets the bytes it seems, and when done it starts again with some other sise of bytes. the problem is that it takes a second for every small amount of butes, the bytes it gets changes everytime from 1 to several bytes. and sometimes it halts for a few seconds before it resumes. Maybe the program workes after all, but im no zen munk, so if it works, a two hour response time is no god. Does anybody have any thoughts?
