Ignore task manager for a week, and see how well the system runs otherwise... piling on all the normal work. We see huge numbers of such reports on our rental units with no real negative results. We find good operation has little to do with what the task manager reports, but what the users are happily doing.
My guess is that hardly anybody on this forum takes a look at their task manager reports, and they love their Thinkpads anyway. Of course, you may be using a 600X or a T23... but they are just naturally slower, task manager or no... We would be interested in what you learn... by making notes of performance hitches as you work through your days... then make similar notes using the task manager reports. What we are suggesting is your computer is running normally. The adjustments you can make to reduce the number of processes, or tasks, are just more bother than they are helpful...
