Possible fossil issue

From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet

I noticed that the doorgame lunatix runs very very slowly on the synchronet fossil, but when using netfoss it loads up right away.

i knew it had issues, i just thought it was a general issue with it not being ran in its intended environment.

i stopped by gargoyle's landing and i saw his copy was running very fast, and it was loading netfoss beforehand.

i gave it a try myself and its as fast as his.

is this indicative of a fossil issue with synchronet? it certainly seems so.

--- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92

added feature + 1 deleted label

IIRC, there was some kind of tame-like support added for synchronet, maybe just a mention in documentation on how to tweak this, and closing the issue.

I know Lunatix in particular really gives a pounding regarding CPU utilization.

This issue is fixed by disabling the tame-like features of the Synchronet UART/FOSSIL driver by adding

[lunatix]
YieldInterval=0

To your exec/sbbsexec.ini file.

If you find that Lunatix is taxing your CPU with this setting set to 0 (no yielding), experiment with numbers > 1 (e.g. 5, 10, etc.).
