OK, can you elaborate a bit on how the this function works in lower levels?

It just waits for intui messages, namely IDCMP_MOUSEBUTTONS, first with SELECTDOWN set, then with SELECTUP set.

Before I bother the Apollo guys I'll put together a simple POC trying to replicate this using plain C.

I have build a basic C program (on Vampire machine) that creates a window and waits for IDCMP_MOUSEBUTTONS (SELECTUP/SELECTDOWN) events.
But I couldn't see any delays there.
What else can I do to troubleshoot?

I tried your example on my A1200/060/P96 machine, and didn't notice any delays. The two lines printed instantly when I clicked around.

Yeah, exactly. The delay doesn't exist on non vampire machines.
See some posts earlier:
"OK, Tested on an A1200 with ACA card.
Seems like the delay is not present there."
But I would be surprised if this a problem Intuition mouse click Wait.
This is practically used in every GUI application. If this would be a general problem on Vamire it would have surfaced already.

Can you try to do a garbage collection before you enter the event loop?

Which garbage would there be on a program that just has launched?

Can you try this?
Code: Select all
Repeat
DebugPrint(IsLeftMouse())
VWait
Forever
Run the code and click and release the left mouse button a few times. Does it immediately report 1 when you click and 0 when you release it? Or is there a delay until the output shows the correct mouse button state?

There is a delay on either pressing left mouse and also releasing left mouse.
Not always. Maybe 2/4 times. Hard to say when on push and when on release.
The delay is ~2 secs.
