Hello Jernej, [ I think this should rather be on TBOT] Monday, September 26, 2005, 11:55:42 AM, you wrote: Not over here. I'm not an expert at all, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I'm using Memory Zipper. JS Let me guess - a program that slows down the computer by forcing all JS programs into swap?

The number 1 in slowing down my computer (not by using much memory, but by simply doing what it is supposed to do) is . The Bat! Each time it is checking for mail, all other applications freeze.

Usability of this is questionable - when you save something, Windows will usually dump it to disk as soon as this won't cause considerable slowdown in applications. If you'd rather have stuff written to disk immediately, you can turn off caching entirely in the System properties. | It repairs the memory leaks and avoids crashes, Blue Screens and unnecessary | slow downs. Bull###t. The only thing that can cause BSOD on NT kernel are bad drivers - and when that's the case, the only way to avoid it is to replace the driver. Memleaks cannot be repaired except by fixing them in the program that's leaking. Windows memory manager will automatically swap out the leaked memory anyway, and unless the program is leaking a lot (or running for a very long time), this won't affect the system (even then, there's nothing a 3rd party program could do). | It comes with CPU Cooler to save power.

I've seen NT4, 2000 and 2003 servers with months of uptime, and the only thing that prevented them going for years are Microsoft's constant updates that require restart.
