Description

@mechanator

How about a pause, resume and q option? There are times when we need the gpu for other things like gaming or rendering a video for a few minutes. The q option finishes the range being searched and quits gracefully after sending the work back to the server, but doesn't ask for more.
Implement it on the cpu and gpu search tools of cyclone or whatever you have .
I recommended it for the TTD guys back in 66 and somehow that never went further than Fixed Paul Vanitysearch.
People notice these things as world class software. We as devs have to deal with interrupting a multi-threading control and client/server logic. A few if/then/else isn't going to slow things down.

Simply monitor keyboard for p, r, q and any other feature you want. s for stats?
