Script becomes way slower after a msgbox - (Moved)
Hi everyone.
I noticed something very weird on my windows 10 computer.
When the script isn't "graphic" (no msgbox, inputbox, gui etc), the script is relatively fast.
Whenever a script becomes "graphic" (a msgbox was launched) its execution is then 6 times slower.
Here are the results of the execution of this script :
$x=0
$start=TimerInit()
for $i=1 to 500000
$x+=1
Next
MsgBox(0,"",TimerDiff($start)) ;160ms => becoming slower now because of the msgbox
$start
Can I get some tests done on this for anyone who want to help?

The problem is that win32 PeekMessage becomes crazy slow after any gui element is shown after Win10 1809. Depending how a program is written this will be affecting lots of other software... Looks like a proper bug to me but no doubt it will be around for years.
The proper fix is a ground-up rewrite scenario where the message pump and UI is on one thread,
