 I've always wanted global hooks in Autohotkey to perform some magic like catching programs before they run, or altering windows before they appear. The list is endless.
AutoHotkey is too slow to handle global hooks properly, so what we need is a standalone, compiled and fast Global Message Hook-service that will accept filtering tasks from any AutoHotkey scripts, and only relay the needed messages back to the AutoHotkey scripts, and respond to it's reply.
Anyone up for the task?

That would also be very slow.

 Really? So an optimized, machine code, global message hook would still slow the system to a crawl?
Or is it the Autohotkey script's answertime thats the problem, even if it's just watching a single window and a single message?
