Well in your case the long running operation isn't CPU bound since it calls Sleep(). That's why I asked about it early on in this discussion, because the only way I could reproduce the behaviour was to make it CPU bound (e.g. an infinite loop "while (true) ;").

What's the "implementation" difference from sleeping a long time and an infinite loop? The sleep call could be replaced by a lock on a mutex that takes a lot of time to acquire the access, does that make difference? I always need to be free to accept new connections... Thanks again for your response, I'll try some more tests soon ;)
