Tsk, Tsk .. the wonderful thing about innuendo is finding out who's
holding the story..<br>
<br>
Which brings me back to one of the themes of this conversation ..<br>
The issue seems to be, what is the system up to...frequently when XP
has been off doing something (other than responding to my app or
keystrokes or mouse), the task manager will report "System Idle
Process" 99%, and I cannot find out what its doing..both on startup and
other times.. does the garbage collection have a part in this?<br>

<pre>In typical use, it doesn't need any tweaking. I suspect that there are some memory usage patterns it doesn't perform so well on, and in those cases you tune it. In extreme cases, you use something else :).<o:p></o:p></pre>
