Does anyone have any code to do some simple time slicing. I want to
ensure that a user background task that I have running is guaranteed
at least 75% of the cpu time. In particular, I want to guard against locking
the background task out by the user constantly moving the mouse.

I have tried a few things but I keep locking up the user interface and then 
am forced to hit ^C.

Any help is welcome.
