dragging the window, the cpu will remain close to 100 % usage. Significant?
Probably not directly, but possibly indirectly.
The questions are, of course:
1) Is the 100% cycle sucking done as a pre-emptible thing, or can you cpu-starve something else using it?
2) Is there some *other* security-related API that botches incorrectly if it's
cpu-starved?
No, unless its proof of some shoddy coding of some-sort.
