Wiggling the mouse speeds a process!

We have a long process running in a TThread class. For some reason if you
wiggle the mouse from side to side during the running of the thread the
process time shortens by up to 90%. If have tried uping the priority from
'normal' to 'time critical' but the mouse wiggle still speeded the process.
Has anyone got an idea what is going on and how I can benefit from faster
process times without telling our users to wiggle their mouse.

Thanks
p.s. wiggling the mouse during BCB compiles didn't have the same effect
unfortunately ;)

I had a similar problem with keystroke macros, and it turned out to be that my
main VCL thread was not letting system messages get processed. I slotted an
"Application->ProcessMessages();" into the macro loop, and my everything worked
as it should. Have you checked whether the main VCL thread is not letting the
system get a look in?
