Interesting Jellyfish behavior

[John Strasser Member Find all posts View Profile Close John Strasser]

Hi folks,

Before I start - my winxp install is a little wiggy and I have to re-build - so take that into account - it's an old dell laptop that came with win2k and I got the win xp upgrade disk about 6 months after I got it...

I've noticed that whenever I run Jellyfish and actually type anything the CPU usage spikes through the roof (according to process lasso anyway).

Anyone else notice this? Never happened when I had win2k installed. Personally I'm betting it's the "issues" that are forcing me to rebuild anyway. Just curious/

I've never seen this in the many years that I have used JellyFish.

With that behavior I'd check for key logging programs etc...

Personally I'm thinking it's a video driver issue.

Since the only programs I see this in are codelobster and jellyfish.

I saw something similar in ToDoList - but when I turned off the "frosted glass" panes everything sped back up to the win2k levels of speed.

I've got a slipstreamed version of my original Dell XP install disk, I just haven't had the chance to use it.

FWIW, I have never seen this, not even on a very low-end system running XP and I use JellyFish exclusively.
