 Replying to [ticket:7909 anonymous]:

 cutlist editing)causes the frontend to suck 99% of cpu power on my XP

 This behavior is caused by a faulty usleep implementation that was fixed
 upstream five months ago in mingwrt-3.16.  Update mingw, make clean, and
 rebuild.

 N.B. for devs: Same issue exists for VS2008 version of usleep in compat.h
 (line 129) - it incorrectly rounds down.  Correct version would be "Sleep
 ( (us + 999) / 1000 );"
