Bill,
This brings up a good point, all those little routines running on each
page are taking CPU cycles from other applications including PowerSDR,
even if the pages are minimized. Every application has a cost, even
little "Quick Starts" for example for Apple's QuickTime takes cycles
and memory space. As few of these the better.

I run Firefox here most of the time. I had noticed the CPU maxed out when I
had multiple tabs opened (This was true of Internet Explorer also). It
turned out to be all the Flash content running on multiple pages. It seems
the flash content was running on pages even if currently hidden. I added an
extension called Flashblock to Firefox to only allow flash content to run if
I specifically enabled it for the specific item on a page. Do a search for
Flashblock via the Firefox Tools/Add-ons menu. Flashblock allows you to
create a whitelist if you want Flash enabled on specific pages. You can also
turn Flashblock on and off easily.

I actually also noticed CPU usage dramatically increased with a couple of
instances of Google Chrome open (with half a dozen tabs open in each) - with
the windows open it was 75% CPU usage, with google chrome closed it dropped
back to 30-35% Quite a big difference!

Have you tried Firefox instead of IE or Chrome??
Also, is it your network software/drivers causing the dpc .. when going
on the internet.. not the actual browser software..???

Hi Leon:
Neal spent some time with me going over a list of services that can be
stopped and disabled. Also we turned off most of the Aero "eye candy"
(fade
in/our, shadows, etc.) but the real culprit, in my case, was the
anti-virus
software. I was seeing the latency steady in the 140usec to 400usec range
until I opened IE or Chrome and surfed the web. Then it would jump to
3000usec - 8000usec.
I don't have my F5KA set up yet - was just putting the PC together. My
original plan was to run XP/pro but the PC was too new and I couldn't get
XP
to install - blue-screen-of-death (BSOD) and no drivers.
73 and good luck
Sheldon
