Re: Is threading the right solution for this challenge?

What I was envisioning was the main program spawning two threads - one
that continually updates the display,

That is one way of chewing up all CPU time so that all programs and the
whole OS becomes unresponsive - min CPU requirement goes to 4GHz.

There are several tables in an Oracle
database that need to be interrogated, several OS processes that need
to be examined, etc.

Put a trigger on each table so that these set a 'new data available'
data item. Or even have a trigger maintain a summary table.
