We are trying to assess the overhead involved when using E EnterCriticalSection/LeaveCriticalSection. Does anyone have an idea of the approximate number of CPU cycles used for these calls? Our proposed design may use a great number of these calls. Thanks Dave Gustafson/Jeff Huckins Santa Clara Plastics – (208)377-9700 There is 1 Reply.

Dave and Jeff, You might re-post this question up on our MSWIN32 developers forum, as our development support staff monitors that section, as do many other developers external to Microsoft. Hope this helps. Kent Somerville [MS]
