I have a standalone version of the script that does the same thing. It
seems to be the run_test module that is in question. This module creates
a temp file and rewrites data to the file loop number of times. If I use
the script version of it, loop=1000 takes about 1 second to complete If
I use the service version of it loop=25 takes about 1 second. In either
case, if the loop value is large enough (to see it in the task manager),
the process still pegs the cpu at 100% when it is running.

So to answer your question, running it standalone has the same cpu
problem as running it as a service does. However, this brings up another
question of why running as a service is so much slower than running it
standalone?

Thanks.
