I get this problem - when I'm doing memory intensive things with a lot of
page swapping. Regardless of processor or memory set up. The only 'cure' I've
found is to put enough memory in the machine to reduce swapping :(

Even a small upgrade, when I went from 16 to 20MB RAM, seems to make a
difference. Could be co-incidence though I suppose...

It might well do. I'm saving up for one myself...

Have fun
