Thread: Reduce CPU usage

Hi,

i am deleting over 2000 files in a for loop, everything works ok except that the CPU usage is 100 % during this loop. Here is the Code:

Code:

for( size_t i = 0; i < filesO.GetCount(); i++ ) 
{
	DeleteFile( filesO.Item( i ) );
}

How can i prevent increased CPU usage? i have seen programs doing the same thing but the CPU usage remains under 20%.

Is it there a way to do that without using sleep functions?



Thanks in advance.
