When I closed gdb and detached it, the process resumed once again taking up lots of CPU power and making the fan go on. I also noticed that this only happens if I don't use the keyboard for a while. If the process is busy and I start typing on the keyboard, it immediately slows down and goes back to normal. I wonder if the keyboard has a feature that it "goes to sleep". Maybe then the bluetooth program is polling for the keyboard and not finding it. Isaac Cohen
