Welcome to my 3d cube test


everyone thinks its a memory problem. Well I will show you its really a timing problem so watch:


Geocities currently encourages you to use a value for sleeptime equal to 5. 5 happens to be 5 milliseconds. If you are using Windows, well 30 milliseconds is equivalent to a timeslice... Just imagine the thrashing you are doing to your computer's CPU!!


Geocities Default time steals your cpu time


Sleep 25ms Not so bad


Sleep 50ms still a squeeze
Sleep 100ms .1 sec interval


Sleep 200ms .2 sec interval


Sleep 400ms .4 sec interval


Sleep 1000ms 1 second intervals


Sleep 10000ms 10 second intervals


I tested these pages using a running chat session, a cpu monitor program, and the actual pages. The results are here. The results prove its a thread starvation problem and not memory as everyone always thought it was.
