Depending on the capability of your hardware, it is sometimes possible to overload the server's CPU while making a Trend or Alarm query using ctFindFirst(). To avoid this you can use CpuLoadSleepMS in conjunction with the CpuLoadCount parameter.
CpuLoadSleepMS
allows you to control how long the request pauses (sleeps) while it
is collecting data. Pausing for longer periods will cause the
request to take longer but will decrease the intensity of the load
on the CPU.
Note: You will need to experiment to see
which values are appropriate for optimum performance on your
system. When experimenting you should adjust the value of
CpuLoadSleepMS before CpuLoadCount.
Allowable Values: 0 to any valid INT (milliseconds)
Default Value: 100
