@jj2007 = thanks again, you rock (re: Intel, OpenLibSys.org source)
@Nidud = you nailed the OS scheduler bit - thanks ! - I'am unsure however what they mean by page fault...
- seems Microsoft uses the term loosely to describe issues with virtual memory, re: hard/soft/cache faults combined?
- But I could be wrong, will investigate.
@Everyone_else = ....or we could just write a kernel driver and get it over with ? I found the kernel driver tutorials on the old masmforum site,
hope they are still relevant. Supposedly there's a trick to include the driver inside your exe, thereby not having to install it.
CrystalCpuID and others use this trick. Just for interest sake -> licensing ($$$) is required for all the other suggestions. Besides
it goes against my moral fiber to pay for something I can do myself. Then there's also religion: we can write it better, faster, smoother
and more flexible than anyone else using assembly
