I don't understand where I am going wrong, but I have the following code in
a windows app and a service. When I run the app in idle it uses 0% cpu, but
if I run the service it uses 50% of the CPU.
If I change the var activeport := false, (as to not receive serial data) the
service falls back to using 0% cpu.

Can someone advise what to do?
Why the difference between an app and a service?

procedure TServerSerial.Execute;
begin
   with Fser do
    begin

   IniFile :=
TIniFile.Create(ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName)+'serialcollex.ini');
   activeport := IniFile.Readbool('serial','active',false);
   PortNo := IniFile.ReadString('serial','PortNo','COM1');
   Baud := IniFile.Readinteger('serial','baud',9600);
   databits := IniFile.ReadInteger('serial','databits',8);
   stopbits := IniFile.ReadInteger('serial','stopbits',0);
   par := IniFile.ReadString('serial','parity','N');
   parity := par[1];
   hardwarefl := IniFile.Readbool('serial','hardwarefl',false);
   softwarefl := IniFile.Readbool('serial','softwarefl',false);
    RaiseExcept:=false;
     Connect(PortNo);
     Config(Baud,databits,parity,stopbits ,softwarefl,hardwarefl);
      if activeport = true then begin //Do we want to receive serial port
data.
      repeat
        if terminated then break;
        if canread(1000) then
          begin
            LCMD := Recvstring(1000);
            if lastError=0 then Synchronize(SendData);
          end;
      until false;
    end;
    end;
end;
