Steve,
Just one thought, is your red line actually a average CPU usage
indicator? That would creep up during steady use but then subside during idle
periods.
Not too sure what precisely you are looking at because on my system
(W2K SP4) I don't have a red line in the Task Manager CPU usage chart, just the
real-time green line. A Yellow line in the memory usage chart but absolutely no
red line. Couldn't find any configuration for those charts either to change
line colour or add additional monitor functions.

Subject: [PEDA] Strange CPU cycle leak
I've been watching Windows TaskMgr while using 99SE SP6 under W2K for the
past several days. I notice that CPU usage goes to 100% essentially any time
that
Protel hsa a crosshair cursor (moving parts, routing traces, etc.).
I have also noticed that the CPU usage creeps up over several hours. There's
a red graph that seems to be some sort of baseline system usage, and a green
line that seems to be application usage. It's the red line that seems to creep
upward. It's almost like a memory leak, only for CPU cycles. This has only
been happening for the past couple of weeks, and the baseline leak doesn't seem
to be related to Protel, but I can't find anything else. Just did a very
thorough virus scan, that doesn't seem to be it. I had installed an HP printer
driver around the time I first noticed this, and have also recently upgraded
(sidegraded?) W2K to SP3 and then SP4.
Any thoughts?
Steve Hendrix
