<snip> Something else comes to mind. I recall measuring these some monitors and seeing CPU consumption affective. The REFRESH RATE may also force some sorting, XMS and other stuff to occur on every 20 seconds. Measure the delta changes on CPU TIME when you adjust the refresh rates. CPU consumption will should down within the address space with longer refresh rates </snip>
I once had an anally retentive manager who complained about the CPU consumption of our monitor. In order to appease him We change the refresh rate on the monitor from 5 sec to 30 sec. No observable difference in performance at any level was observed. After the experiment was concluded, we returned the monitor refresh rate to 5 sec.
