uninstalling crap
Came home from Hawaii. Windows Vista desktop pegged, both processors at 100% and all 6 gigs of memory taken. Processes gone wild. Removing a bunch of stuff including
SpringBox (never used)
Twhirl (mobile only )
RescueTime (too processor heavy, never used)
WindowsLive Sign-in Assistant (never use)
w.Bloggar 4.02 (moved to WindowsLive Writer)
Snitter (Stopped using)
Spoke (never used, lots of overhead in Outlook)
SmartShopper (totally annoying sidebar)
Blackberry Media sync (installed Roxio sync which is a HOGGGGGGGGGG)
that seemed to have gotten rid of most of the hogs I don’t use anymore. System running MUCH faster.
(oh, and I tuned BackBlaze down to faster network while I work)
CPU utilization now 12% and 9% respectively, memory utilization 49%
