Well, that's all of it. :o
As you can see there seems to be way more running than needs to be. Normally I wouldn't think much of it, but my system has 1 Gig of RDRAM so it should fly, but I'm noticing slowdowns on a bunch of programs.

If you can make sense of all that garble FTL, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot .
