To my understanding it is actually sufficient to just be able to call the Linehook a few times a second, hence for a program that runs with a certain interval it would be enou...

E.g. a program that used about 6-7% cpu load now takes about 8-9%. Or another program that was taking about 60% load now takes abou...

Thanks Andreas. As always your answer was pretty helpful.
