sleep function
Hi there,
I made a small C++ program that consists in checking if an hour and a minute of a day as become to copy a file to another location. The program was working pretty fine until i've noticed that it was consuming 50% of the processor (a core 2 duo :S). I have noticed that is the sleep function that causes this... and i don't know how to handle this because i believe that the sleep is usually peacefull to the processor... I made the program in DEV/CPP, a windows developer/compiler that works under gCC. Can anyone help me?

Well, the problem is most likely that you are not reaching the Sleep()...can you post some code?
