Thanks to everyone who responded. In this case, it's a bug in my thinking. I had the memory usage set to the max allowable, because I wanted P-1 to succeed whenever possible, even if it inconvenienced me - I do most of my academic work via VNC into timeshares, so it isn't a big deal if the system thrashes. Is that the Wrong Thing (tm) to do in terms of improving Prime95's efficiency?
