Chris, Thanks for the insight, I don't think my lag is unique to MLO so I am starting to blame Win10 or other conflicting sw - I tried out your point about visible items, it didn't help. But your point about AV will take me a bit longer to figure out.
It's funny, perceptions of strong PCs - if I was gaming or video editing or something I would know I am underpowered, but my beef (with PCs ie Win10) is that (in this case) the lag happens - but processor is doing nothing really, RAM is free, disk IO is barely moving.... Also, there is nothing in Win10 to help performance, like a 'watchdog' program. Last time I tried a 3p performance tool it ran amok and made things worse. But I will report back if/when I find the culprit... On Sunday, May 1, 2022 at 6:54:34 PM UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > Hi Jon, > > I've chimed in on this before.
