When I debug the service, it behaves like the standalone app does;
actually, it behaves better. The system resources spike to 100% but
don't stay there, and the number of loops per second is similar to the
standalone version.

So what does this mean? I don't see any indication that anything is
hogging the CPU while in debug mode. Should I create a test account to
try running the service under to see if that makes a difference?

I did notice that python.exe is running while in debug mode as well as
pythonservice.exe. I assume this is because it's actually calling the
console version of python?
