sluggishness of 8.1.1 on send in 0/wait 0 pairs?

[Bob Sneidar]

I always use dispatch unless I need to send in time.

I (like I assume many others) have a number of places with blocks like

send doIt to stack worker in 0
wait 0 with messages
doSomethingElse

I'm seeing a situation in which the code hits "DoSomethingElse"
before the "doIt" happens.

If you want to ensure "doIt" happens before the calling handler continues, why not just remove the "in 0" clause?

You might consider using 'dispatch' instead of 'send' if you really want it to execute the moment that line shows up. I read somewhere the dispatch is more performant anyways.
