Right in the following example, I had Firefox open on bbc.co.uk, and I was running a 5000kbps test on SlimServer. I then went into bbc.co.uk/cbeebies, then back to bbc.co.uk, and then in gmail, and then back to bbc.co.uk. Right here are some shots from ProcExplorer running. Theres four shots:- 1) One of a dedicated 'slim' window. Note the two BIG IO mounds! These are as the browser went to bbc.co.uk/cbeebies and gmail. How odd is that!!!!! 2) One of a dedicated 'firefox' window. Note little change as I go to the different pages! 3) One of the procerror main list. 4) One of the procerror process graphs. SO WHY IS THE IO GOING SO MUCH UP FOR SLIM.EXE WHEN GOING TO BB.CO.UK/CBEEBIES AND GMAIL?? I'll attach all the screen shots as ZIPs in the next post so you can see them full size if you want to... +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: procexplorer2.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3355| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- NeilF shuttle sn45g, athlon 3200+, 512mb, xp pro, squeeze box 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NeilF's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13059 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38571 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
