On an entirely different subject -- the database thing having to go

till next week now, I have the following code in a thread. All it's

to do is display the current date/time, and continually update as a

When run, I see this little app is hogging a major chunk of CPU.
It's at
nearly 50% of CPU on average, 17.1 MB of real ram, and more than
120 MB of
VM!
What's going on... Or more to the point, what am I doing wrong?
This runs all the time up until the stop time (theDate) is reached
and so it will suck up a lot of CPU whether it's in a thread or not
Try making it sleep a tiny little bit in between each update of the
clock
Look up SleepCurrentThread
