Hi Dene, I've got to say that telling someone to 'start killing processes' on their win box isn't a good idea. Most processes on a computer will just be sitting there waiting for something to respond to - if there's nothing for them to do they won't be using any significant cpu time. There's also a good chance that if they haven't had much to do for a while they'll be rolled out into VM as well, and so won't be holding on to lots of your real ram.
If the problem was one of intermittent pauses or slow-downs /then/ it might be worth looking at what else is running on your system but if,as seems to be the case here, the low frame-rate is constant then I think we're looking at a lack of h/w OpenGL acceleration.
