Hi,

the thread that executes your do-loop will burn CPU cycles at full throttle. So one of your two cores is out of business, waiting for the process to terminate (which gets delayed by the fact that your system is now limping on one core).

The right way to do this is:
- either include a Thread.Sleep(100) or so inside the while loop, so in spins only 10 times per second;
- or better yet, use something smarter, more event-driven; in this case replace the whole do-loop by a simple varProcess.WaitForExit

Smile | :)
