I have experienced these periodic slowdowns on my XP Home system with
current updates, IE8 and latest windoweyes. It is most noticeable in the
morning after booting the machine. I am using Microsoft Security Essentials
and have disable scheduled scanning so I know it's not that. When computer
is slow it make take 30 seconds to move the cursor in the editor or many
seconds to pull down a menu. There seems to be a lot of tisk activity during
all this. Some of this could be various programs looking for updates, who
knows. The problem is that you can't use Windoweyes to look at the running
processes to figure out what is hogging the CPU. Anyone know of software
that would store this info to a file so it could be examined after computer
is behaving normally?
