Dumb solution: place a little sleep() immediately after the
fl_check_forms() call in LyX. I haven't really dug into LyX myself but I
think what's happening is that LyX is polling (fl_check_forms() is the
nonblocking check). So you have something like:
FL_OBJECT *ret;
ret = fl_check_forms ();
if (ret == Button1) DoThis;
else
if (ret == Button2) DoThat;
else ...
sleep (1);
The idea is that, if fl_check_forms() returned nothing, go to sleep for a
while. This will _drastically_ cut down on CPU usage. Although sleep(1) is
too drastic. If your UNIX has usleep() you can use that to sleep for maybe
25 milliseconds (that's close to the limit of human response time, so your
LyX user won't know the difference).
