If you don't mind "going under the hood", I
recommend the free "Autoruns" utility from Microsoft.
( Originally written by Sysinternals )
This utility will show you all the "junk" that
automatically loads itself ( hidden from view )
and steals a lot of CPU horsepower.
I recommend that you select "Hide Microsoft Services"
and make a back-up from within the utility
before you review and start removing stuff.
- Suspect any process that doesn't report being
associated with a known and wanted program
- Google processes what you don't recognize, maybe
they are needed, maybe they are just garbage-ware.
- Be sure that you don't disable anti-virus components!
- You may want to remove some of the printing
and / or multi-media helper applets too ( if any ).
I run a single core 3 GHz AMD CPU, 2GB RAM,
WIN-XP, PSDR 2.2.3 . My CPU ranges from 16%-36%
after clean-up, was about twice that before clean-up
