RapidRoad USB Review

[kolla]

My Logitech G700 Mouse is using half of the 66Mhz 060 while being moved. Is there a way to lower this?

Yeah - do more, other stuff, because if all you do is moving around your mouse cursor, then that’s what the CPU will spend time on

Btw - how do you know your CPU is using 50% on “mouse activities”, have you installed Executive by any chance? If so, then even more so - use your computer more if you want to see lower percentage used for “mouse activities”.

The obvious thing to do if you want to remove the “problem” with mouse pointer taking CPU time, is to not use a PIO (programmed I/O) driven controller, like RapidRoad, where the CPU do all the work in reading from the devices, but instead use a controller that use DMA (direct memory access), like for example the Deneb controller (DMA with OS3, but only PIO with OS4) or - simples of all - the original Amiga mouse port.

Ah, well, then all you need to do is to RTFM - to expect people here to know exactly what it is in your mashed up hack&patch system that makes mouse pointer score high numbers in Executive’s AmigaOS scheduler replacement ... hahaha, escuse me, I am off to di some shopping. Good luck
