Hey,

Well it''s stable enough to be left on for hours without failure, but
its
very sluggish indeed (takes a good few seconds to open a window). It may
well be the display, but I don''t know... The process viewer reported
taskmgr.exe consuming a sustained 96-98% of the cpu resources. Device
manager shows the CPU speed and memory correct... I''m only currently
using
one logical processor (i.e. 1/2 a core) at the mo though so I''ll have a
look at it after disabling hyperthreading, I might try giving it a few
more vcpus too, although I don''t know what it''ll make of
smp...
