When you see 100% CPU usage on a computer, the first step is to figure out what is taking up the CPU time.Just moved iMail (6.06 / Win 2k) to a new Dell PowerEdge 2650 (2.4 GHz Xenon) and now it runs slower that on the old machine. The CPU has been at 100% since we started iMail on the new machine.It sounds like the first thing to do is disable the integrated Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapters and put in an old network card. What cards should we look for / avoid?
To do that, you need to start Task Manager (CTRL-SHIFT-ESC), click the "Processes" tab, and then click on the "CPU" button. That will sort the processes by CPU usage, and show the guilty process(es).
It is likely something unrelated to IMail, such as an indexing service running.
