Why do you keep on implying that running at 100% CPU load implies overheating?
You continue to miss the point. We are talking about unnecessarily running at 100% CPU, through the omission of a WAIT statement. That has a number of undesirable consequences:
It slows down other processes/threads running on the same core. It depletes the battery when that is the source of power. It uses extra energy and therefore adds to CO2 emissions. It causes heating, which will shorten the life of the CPU chip.
I have never said that 100% CPU load necessarily causes overheating, but simply that it may cause overheating. Neither you nor I know what proportion of PCs have insufficient or impaired cooling arrangements, such that running at 100% CPU for extended periods may cause damage (which I reiterate may not necessarily be catastrophic failure, but parametric changes caused by ion migration). But what is certain is that some do.
The remainder of your comments and insults are largely irrelevant and do not merit any response from me. I have no idea why you feel the need to be so obnoxious and provocative.
