> I’m on linux right now but my winblows machine on the other side of the room is running 6 of them right now. Your doing a lot of photoshop n shit right? When is the last time you cleaned up your drive? Defrag’d? Did a fresh install of windows? the machine i do photoshop on has no more than 29 processes running at any time…thats an ideal number…if your opening up the taskman and seeing like 60 that can become a problem

your little ‘number of processes running at any time’ is erronous and pretty much idiotic… so go ahead and stop telling people that as though it’s the truth.

you’re going to tell me that a computer that running 25 ‘processes’ runs faster than a computer that runs 27 LOL!!! dude, it’s not a pole position… it’s a freaking system monitor of active applications… that is not a logical way to troubleshoot anything… the theory is correct, less is better (sometimes 😉 ), but the fundamentals are not there. :ugh2: … i’m not trying to be an asshole, it’s just the facts.
