Hi All,

 

I was wondering if someone could help me answer a processor scheduling
question.  I'm running a process to test SSL memory.  The data is received
by a process running in a thread priority 40.  The server is running
priority 70.  (both in the same image).  There is one thread started as
dataHandler for each send.

 

When I run normally everything works fine.  I send data and the dataHandler
process picks it up and closes down.  I'm seeing one send and about one
receive before another send.  When it's all done everything sent was
received.

 

The problem is that when I leave squeak and click on any other application,
what I see is lots of sends but only rarely a receive.  Then the application
usually freezes up and has lots and lots of sockets open. 

 

Can someone explain to me why a test running and processes scheduled would
act so differently if I click on another application?

 

I tried to look at Processor activePriority hoping that since UI was running
at 40 that maybe active priority was raised when Squeak was not the top most
application.  It appeared to stay at 40.

 

Thanks for your help and any suggestions on how to diagnose this problem.
