      Perhaps the application is designed for use deep in a gravity well?

        At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

          The comment has been truncated. I think it originally read

          Thread.Sleep(3000); // wait a minute, let's slow things down a few seconds for no apparent reason.

            Optimisation opportunity? I've heard stories of people leaving those in so they can present a 'quick win' when they're under pressure.

              Yep, it was here on CP. A "performance loop" it was call or sth like this (for int i=0;i<10000000;i++)

                  That would work, because the people inside the gravity well would experience the passage of time normally. Only an outside observer would see time passing by slower inside the gravity well. :-D

                    Would it not be a real horror to let the poor thread really sleep for one minute (= 0,00000134 dog years or 250000 processor years)?

                        Ah, I remember writing that when I wrote Sim City. Of course, Sim time is different than our time. A side effect of reticulated splines.

                            That looks more like three shakes of a lamb's tail.

                                Every day, I work a micromillenium.

                                Just think of it as evolution in action.
