Response Time

I don't claim to have the biggest, best, or fastest machine out there, but my compy certainly isn't a piece of crap, either.* And yet, there are times when all 4Gig of ram, an 4400Ghz of cpu cycles sit there and do nothing for annoyingly long periods of time.* Clicking on a link in outlook will cause the virus scan software to lock the entire machine up for 5-10 seconds.* Previously, when I stupidly tried OneCare, it would take close to 20 seconds for IE to display a window.* Boot time is a fun game of "Are you sure everything is loaded up yet, cuz sh*t won't work until it does"

 

I can't figure out how it is that an entire OS can be brought to it's knees by a malfunctioning IE window.* Is there some reason why*both cores on a dual core CPU need to be busy on the same task?

 

I'm using XP, but I fear that this hasn't improved in Vista, either.*

 

Does your machine hang for unreasonable amounts of time at unneccessary moments?
