To subscribers of the xforms list from Erwin Burgstaller <ber@knapp.co.at> :

Hi, I'm new to this list and to Xform, so I don't know how often this question
has been answered yet.

I've installed Lyx, which is using Xform. Now the people here are lucky with
Lyx and are using it. But the "average load" of our system increments by one
for each Lyx which has been started. In other words Lyx has some busy waiting.
Each Lyx uses about 15% of the available processor time.

This busy waiting happens in the Xform lib in the function fl_watch_io:

dbx Version 3.1
Type 'help' for help.

fl_check_forms(0xffffffff) at 0x1000b048
main(0xffffffff, 0xffffffff) at 0x10001990
(dbx)

So, what can I do? (Version 0.84 is available, I don't know, if it would work
better with it, but it's only available for AIX 4.1 and I'm not able to update from
AIX 3.2.5)

Erwin
