No virus scanner, software firewall, or spyware detector running that I know of. I run memory intensive apps like Illustrator, Photoshop, and Quark quite a bit.

There's your problem. This is a Tinker core, and Tinkers run really awfully on G3's and G4's. Someone suggested a program called InCrease that can help boost performance on these. I believe they linked to it earlier in this thread.

Yep, it's that Tinker unit that you have running. They are not optimized, so they fold very, very slowly on G4s. Unfortunately, that seems to be all that my G4 gets to process. I'm the one who mentioned InCrease earlier. It is supposed to have settings to help G4s avoid being assigned Tinker units, but it hasn't helped mine do that.
