Which can be caused by having other processes loaded. I'm not sure
what you mean by "paging to the pagefile begins". Are you referring
to the swap file managed by Windows, or are you referring to something
special managed by P95? If the latter, then the circumstance I describe
should not cause that.

If I understand you correctly, not so. If the higher priority processes
are in virtual, but are not being scheduled, then performance will be
normal until one of the idle processes starts getting scheduled. Then
there will be a delay while enough of it gets loaded for it to respond
to whatever event woke it up.
Of course, the solution to everything is more RAM, more disc,
and a faster processor :-)

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
