As soon as we fixed McAfee's setting so it wasn't checking every read operation the problem disappeared. Hope this helps. [Standard disclaimer for the mailing list style police: I normally append my replies in a thread to the end of that thread (or intersperse my comments in with the portions of the thread which I am quoting), but when I contribute to a thread which does not approach replies this way I adapt my reply style to match that of the existing thread. Please don't bother spamming me with attempts to convince me that making this accomodation is evil, because you'll just end up in my killfile.] On Thu, 28 Aug 2003, zhuyunchuan wrote: > I checked the 'task manager' and found out that the thread 'python' got > MEM very slowly, almost 200K MEM/sec, while others got whole memory it > need immediately > > Sander Steffann wrote: > > > Hi, > > I suspect this is disk-related.
