Hopefully, some of you experts can clear this up:
I have PARIS on my home desktop, Windows XP Athlon AMD 1400.
I have done all sorts of cleaning, tweaking, etc., and maxed
out the RAM at 1GB. Despite all of this work, and the fact that
it runs "only" about 26 processes at a time, the CPU load
"idles" at about 50%. Wassup??????!!!!
My laptop at work, a Compaq Evo N1000v, Pentium 4 XP, on which
I have done no tweaking or cleaning, idles at 8-10% CPU load.
This is with 41 processes running, including a lot of junk.
I have tried two different programs, Spped Up My PC and Tweak
XP, with no appreciable effect on the CPU load.
Is it my McAfee Virus shield thing? It doesn't show any
activity, but is enabled. if I need to disable it, how can I
continue to scan incoming e-mail?
Any light shed on this would be most welcome!!!!
Chris
