Strange interrupts during the game.

[pithorr]

I am playing Polish version of CK.
My hardware:
PIV 2,4GHz
memory 512MB DDR
HDD 80GB
video GForce FX5200 128MB

I have noticed strange short regular interrupts during playing CK on my computer:
they concern cursor move, scrolling etc.
They do not make the game play to be impossible, but are really annoying
I do not understand what may cause it. I haven't got any ant-virus application to be executed in the same time, only a small firewall (which shouldn't have any influence in the matter), no viruses reported, any other software/games, often with higher requirements than CK, used to work properly...

If what you call interrupts are in fact momentary halts in map scrolling or mouse arrow movement that coincide with the game engine moving into the next day, that's just the CPU time needed to evaluate all the event triggers.
