I am curious to ask/hear what time interval
should separate two WinGet, OV, Count commands
in a persistent script to catch any/all changes in the (NonHidden) WinCount?
I know what effect the set time interval has on CPU usage
on my three XP laptops, but I have virtually no idea
what the physics of the time element is.
Of course the HW specs / RAM speed etc affect the time interval ...

Any helpful/replies insights appreciated.
Thank you.

I have no idea what you are talking about?

PS: you don't have to mention the date in your post. This awesome forum webpage does it automatically .

Would this suffice?

Thanks for the replies.
The question/s is/are»
What should the sleep delay be?
How should one calculate the sleep delay on different PCs?
In how many milliseconds can new windows appear?

AFAIK, they can appear any moment, what should they wait for?
Why should the delay be different on different PC's?
Maybe you think the delay must be changed, because they appear slower on a slow PC.
But then they can still appear any moment, albeit slower after the intial trigger from an application.

Thanks for the reply.

It seems to me that the number of milliseconds
from point in time "T̥" in which a new window can appear
depends on the specs of the PC in question.
It seems to me that the number of milliseconds
from point in time "T̥" in which a new window can appear
is not the same on all three of my XP laptops.
Laptop T from 1998 has a PII 233MHz with 160mb RAM.
Laptop G has an Intel Celeron M370 1500MHz & 1gb DDR2 266MHz RAM.
Laptop I has a PIV 1800MHz & 1gb DDR 133MHz RAM.

It seems to me that G is slightly faster than I.
I would guess because of the RAM speed.
It seems to me that the number of milliseconds
from point in time "T̥" in which a new window can appear
is not the same on any of these laptops -
definitely more milliseconds on laptop T.

Anyway, that's still how it seems to me.
It is not a question of why they should wait.
It seems to me rather a question of how quickly
the HW/SW can actually create the window in the OS.

I have a script that I want to catch the "Copying/Moving/Deleting" popups.
I had WinDelay set to 10 but that wasn't working sometimes.
I changed WinDelay to 0 and that has been working almost 100% ...
