Forgive me for my sins

It happena only when the debugger is attached, which leaves a good catch-22 situation. Basically I end up having to code blindly.

This sucks badly - debugger really helps in compex code, I wasted lots of time debugging function with inclined assembly blindly

Anyway, these things can happen - overall .net is suprisingly good with high performance, it could have been a lot worse.

TheMonkey and AtW - stop scaring me. You should be talking about dragging and dropping controls in the design screen in VS .net - not all this complicated stuff like threads and mutexes.

Otherwise you'll destroy my fantasy that IT has been a piece of piss over the last 10 years....

Have I mentioned that I now take into account locality of processor cache when choosing or designing my own most performant algorithm?

I wouldn't have a Mac if it wasn't x86. I only bought one as the purchase risk is mitigated by the fact that it runs windows as well via Bootcamp.

You should also look at Parallels Desktop for Mac. It gives you a virtual machine, rather than the dual boot solution of Bootcamp.

"Use any full version of Windows (3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 2000, NT, XP, 2003), any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, or MS-DOS in secure virtual machines running alongside – not instead of - Mac OS X."

Fantastic - that is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Thanks for the heads up.
