Anyone else with advise, keep it coming!

1) Check file system settings -- Control Panel | System, Performance tab,
File system, is typical use (or something like that) set to Desktop, or
to Server? If set to Server, then (I think) network requests are given
priority over local apps, which could account for slowdown.

One of the biggest performance leaks is the automatic indexing done
when you install Microsoft office components such as Word.
I don't have the files at hand that have to be removed from autostart,
but it shouldn't be that hard to find them.

On older machines there is a significant limit to the amount of main memory
that is cache-able, even if you increase the cache size, due to the TAG RAM
limitations. Compaq typically didn't put any extras in their machines.
My desktop until last summer, a Pentium MMX233, had a cache-able RAM
Also, you have too much virtual memory on machine 1. 800MB virtual should
be good for your 440MB RAM machine. The speed of the disk controller for

First thing, please get rid of the italisized text in your email. It makes
it very difficult to read. I'm getting old and spent way too much time
looking at a computer screen so any more fuzzy printing makes me think its

Anyway, what Operating system are you running on

Are you absolutely, 100% sure that the two Protel instances are running the
exact same PCB files with the exact same design rules? If online DRC is
active, there will be a difference in execution time if the rules are
different. There will also be a difference in execution time if one file

On computer 2, I move text for an 0805 and it takes 3 seconds to get mouse

On computer 1 ,I move same text it takes 8 seconds
when I do this for a 28 pin SOP it takes computer 2 - 4 seconds and computer
