YouTube increases FreeBASIC performance (2019)

The same is true when running Winamp. When I was dabbling with FreeBASIC many years ago, my games performed better when I was listening to music. Same reason!

>Windows Energy-saving timer heuristics

Another example of Windows' technical debt being there, low-hanging fruit-wise, to be cashed in by performance-oriented developers. Its interesting that Youtube changing the timer resolution propagates to other threads .. does this harken to darker days in the MSDOS era? Youtube, another Turbo button?

Connections like this are fun and interesting but highlight what a complete junk pile our (extractive, spying, slow, bloated, eating power for no reason) stack is. we need a rewrite starting from the boot loader of almost every OS in use in the world
