Mike,
Quoted from my previous post:
" However, once you start inputing again, the VRDB will temporatily halt and wait for the next idle period."

The “initial idle” may be a few minutes, but once the VRDB gets started, it will…as you said…steal some processor time when it can. That time can vary from machine to machine depending on the processes that are running in conjunction with keypad inputs, but is still considered the next “idle period”, or period of inactivity.

Expanding on my previous post…the VRDB will attempt to complete in the shortest amount of time within the retraints of the system operation.

After reading your post, I felt that some clarification was indeed necessary.
