While I've not seen that particular issue, it's been on equipment that is really so much slower than the computer, you'd be hard to notice.

Most of our apps are web based, and we use Firefox almost exclusively, and when you approach a desktop, that's maxed out on F@Home, click on Firefox, you get about a 4-5 second "shakedown" and "rotate" period, where the hard drive churns, and then control is handed back over to the local user.

So far, keeping them at 70% or so, seems to minimize the noticeable "lag".

Apps like word, excel, etc, are always sluggish at startup, so whatever F@H does to them, isn't noticeable

Looking at our 24 hour stats, we're 28th.

That rocks. To get much beyond that would require a 10x number of cpus. But, that said, we're not chopped liver!

Klutz, I have seen the reference to adjusting the %CPU several times. I am running the console/windows process on my computeres. How do I adjust the %CPU on those applications?

BTW, whoever it was that recommended turning my laptop on it's side to help keep it cool, it is working great. Thanks.
