Sridhar, as a Java developer, I know that Java programs are not
necessarily like that. and in fact I haven't had that problem at all with
phex. Do you know if you are using Sun's JDK and HotSpot? I use
phex quite a lot on an Athlon 750 + 256M RAM, and I happily send
mail, browse the web, play music and serve files all at the same time
without ever noticing the CPU meter getting excited.
