FYI... I have stopped a heap of the services I had running.
I have had a play with top, I couldn't see anything obvious. I had performance problems with Win98 on this machine as well. I downloaded a wizard to improve performance.... the main thing I changed was how the disk cache was used. I think the disk in this machine is a bit slow. Most of the time when I see problems the disk light is going and I can hear its stepper going mad. My current thinking is that i'm going to take everyones advise and move to MDK10 (which I'll just download as it's easier than trying to get into town). I've also got the indexing option set within Ximian and I'm wondering if that might be impacting on things as I get about 1000 mail items each day.
