It's good idea to catch this double running of Projectors (unless you are
lucky enough to have only patient IT-knowledgeable users)..
..but seriously if you have BuddyAPI it has couple of methods that you can
combine to check every time your projector starts whether another copy is
already running and if so kill the second one.
Re. the speed: if you put everything on the HD is it then acceptable? Is
this an option for you?
cheers
