Launch a bunch of "busy" tasks - I use a simple BUSY loop in C:

Copy code to clipboard

1   for(;;);

which basically "loops at max speed forever"

I just write a batch file 1.bat with the single command @1 which runs itself forever. Don't use "call" otherwise it will blow the stack.

Quite likely good - I just tend to not trust interpretive languages to not be "doing other stuff" from time to time (like checking keyboard buffer) - and such things "could" swap the tasks timeslice... so I tend to go for "hard loops". (and yeah, as a guy who's designed/written a few multi-tasking OSs over the years, I'm not entirely convinced all others are predictable)
