[WT-support] Heavy CPU load caused by Interface to Orion

Hi all,

I have a unpleasant problem. The CPU load increases to about 35 to 40% after 
connecting of my Orion using virtual com port (USB interface) to Wintest. The 
CPU load running K3 on the same interface is about 3%. The heavy CPU load  
distorts often the sending of CW via LPT :-(

A little bit help is to set the polling rate. In case of polling rate of 200 
ms is the CPU load still to high but about 10%.

Have other Orion users the same problem or is there some help?

The processor is Intel (M) with 1,6 GB and there are no other (user) processes 
running. The CPU load without running wintest is bellow 1%.
