Still the only time I've ever seen Prime95/NTPrime slow down a system is when I was doing some Netmeeting video conferences.
With it running, the video conference would run DOG slow. Stop the NTPrime service and curiously had to restart the video conference for the effect, but the video would then be running great. That was with, umm.. version 20 I think? I haven't tried again with later versions... wasn't one of the things George did something to do with the priority setting?
