This sounds like paging hell, where a program (or programs, but that's unlikely) gobbles up more and more memory until the system has swapped and is swapped everything out from memory to disk. Leave Activity Monitor running, with the list sorted by Real Memory. When this problem occurs, quickly get over to the Activity Monitor window and see what's at the top of the list. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
