RE: Also add '/nodebug' which works on my Dell PC but avoid '/pcilock' on Dell (pity)

I was just playing around with my affinities. Ending up setting everything possible to just the 2nd processor only (the one with the check box by the 1, not the 0).
I think I was able to modify the bat file to have all processes run at low priority also which is nice.

The major change I noticed, was when I went into processes explorer. right-clicked on an application (foobar) and chose properties..selected the TCP/IP tab and unchecked the Resolve addresses box. I felt this was quite a substantial improvement.
The only caveat is you have to keep the process explorer running for that change to stay in effect. For fun, I right clicked process explorer and selected suspend. Then when I closed foobar and explorer came back up, I opened another instance of process explorer to kill the first one.


When you uncheck Resolve addresses for one, it unchecks it for all other processes, so it seems to be a process explorer feature.
Anyway, maybe that check box gives you a clue about something in the system that uses TCP/IP that is used on the process level. Let me know if you can try unchecking that box and whether you hear the same improvement I did. It was not subtle on my end.
