Quit the Finder to give Virtual PC a speed boost
Authored by: rhamm on Oct 07, '03 09:11:47PM

Looking at both top and ProcessViewer, the Finder CPU usage is zero. How amazing, it's like that all the time. Therefore, there should be no speed increase.

BUT, there is. I think it is the RAM, as Typhoon14 said. My argument: the increase is really only noticeable when playing games or using Adobe Illustrator or LimeWire, which are all, I believe, very memory-intensive.

Because it is relevant, I have 256mb of the stuff.
