100% CPU Usage Running SNA Windows 3.x Client on Windows NTLast reviewed: November 1, 1995Article ID: Q131640 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYWhen you run the SNA Server Windows 3.x client under Windows NT 3.1 or 3.5, Performance Monitor shows CPU utilization at 100 percent. This occurs whenever the SNA Server Windows 3.x client process (WNAP.EXE) is running, even if it is not being used. The WNAP process, which calls PeekMessage(), is causing the Windows NT WOW subsystem to use all available idle CPU cycles. However, due to sophisticated Windows NT process scheduling, other tasks/threads running at a higher priority (including foreground tasks), and tasks/threads running at the same priority, continue to run. You will probably not notice any performance degradation. The excessive CPU usage does not occur under Windows NT 3.51.
MORE INFORMATIONThe high CPU usage occurs on Windows NT 3.1 or 3.5 with any 16-bit Windows application which implements a PeekMessage() loop to process Windows messages. The SNA Server Windows 3.x client (WNAP.EXE) uses a PeekMessage() loop.
