I have had the MUS running on my own system for a couple of days at a time with no noticeable decrease in performance of the rest of my apps running.
Typical apps running _while_ the MUS is on. 2-3 Versions of Director Flash IE Netscape Fireworks Photoshop 3ds Max Eudora Lots of File Windows. I still have no decrease in performance. I just tried this...I started the MUS, launched IE,Director,Homesite,Sound Forge,Dreamweaver,Fireworks and Flash. I opened the Windows Task Manager and clicked on different apps to give them focus. I opened files, closed files, dragged items around, played some director files and the CPU usage for the MUS fluctuates as I do this. It has dropped as low as 52%. It looks like the MUS uses whatever cycles are available to it at that time. It doesn't hog the CPU. ...Neil At 05:37 PM 8/20/2002 +0200, you wrote: >I checked on my Mac (antique Powerbook, 500 MHz, G3).
