Hello NG

I'm using a named mutex to protect shared data between 3 processes.
I've noticed that each process that waits for the mutex uses 50% of CPU usage...
Can someone tell me what to do to minimize the CPU usage in the waiting processes?

thanks

Please post your code. A wait should not consume CPU cycles, probably there
is something else going on.

Willy.
