Tried. No luck. What I did:

(defun w-post-redisplay (self)
  (let ((w (glut-get-window))
        (gw (glutw self)))
    (c-assert gw)
    (glut-set-window gw)
    (count-it :post-redisplay)

    ;; HACK: ADDED by frgo ...
    (when (> (- (os-TickCount) (tickCount self)) 100000)
      (print "Posting REDISPLAY !")      
      (trc nil "posting redisplay" self (glutw self) :currentw w)
      (glut-post-redisplay)
      (setf (tickCount self) (os-TickCount)))
    
    (c-assert w)
    (glut-set-window w)))

With that I do receive only very rarely that "Posting REDISPLAY !" 
message. CPU load remains high.

No switching to searching in freeglut. But not today. There's some
real business waiting still to be done, unfortunately.

Offline until weekend!
