Description
Scott and I have noticed that basicScript.BasicScript often stops scripts from running because of the built in wait time at line 42:
if loadavg > 2.0:
apDisplay.printMsg("Load average is %.2f, wait for %.1f second " % (round(loadavg,2),loadavg**2))
time.sleep(loadavg**2)
apDisplay.printMsg("Load average is high "+str(round(loadavg,2)))
This condition seems like a relic from the days when processors only had one or two cores. It only serves as an impediment to processing data in our lab.
We're opting to remove it on our end. Who is in favor of removing this from the next release version?
