ManualResetEvent is slow?

[Thomas]

Hallo

Im using a ManualResetEvent to signal to my thread, when things are done.
But sometimes, I have measured that it can tak up to 90 ms, from the Set()
until the WaitOne() is trigged!!!

Way this delay? Anything else I can use to signal a thread faster?

Well, you've told us little about the threading environment. Setting an
event doesn't mean that the thread should start immediately. It simply
means that the thread will be *ready to run*. When it runs is up to the
scheduler. If you have a higher-priority thread doing something at the same
time, your thread won't actually execute until that thread exits or blocks.
