TinyTERM Plus version 4.05 will use 100% of the CPU if a session is configured for TN3270 or TN5250 emulation. TinyTERM Plus 4.10 will do the same thing with two or more sessions open using those emulations.

TinyTERM 3.3 will sometimes use 100% of the CPU regardless of the emulation chosen. Older versions of TERM or TinyTERM for Windows will do the same thing. TinyTERM does not need to be connected for this to happen.

There is no workaround for these situations. TinyTERM must be upgraded to improve its CPU utilization.

TinyTERM Plus Edition 4.05 may use 100% of the CPU after install on Windows NT 4.0, even when the TinyTERM Emulator is not running. That’s caused by the NFS client included with TinyTERM Plus Edition. To fix that, uninstall TinyTERM and NetUtils. Reboot the PC, then reinstall without the NFS component.

TinyTERM 4.31 and higher will use 100% of the CPU on Windows 98 or Me when connected via TCP/IP or modem. This does not happen on Windows 98 Second Edition, nor does it happen with serial connections.

CR 72, improved in TinyTERM 4.12
CR 294, reported in TinyTERM 4.20
CR 647, Windows 98 and Me
