RE: Different result second time around

I have gone back and forth between maxmem and burnmemory three more times. I complicated it a bit by reducing the resulting memory used progressively. Still I never reproduced the very low cpu usage I saw at first. It must have been an anomaly or mistake of some kind. In all cases usage varied mostly in the range of 15-20% with spikes into the 20's. I have now gotten down to using 226MB with maxmem. It is hard to say there was any significant improvement in sq beyond the initial benefit of reducing to maxmem=256. If any it is refinement of ultra-refinement. I repeat that I have been using the full boot.ini line with /nopae and /onecpu all along with this.

It is puzzling to me given the overall goal of reducing cpu stress that this memory limitation improves things though increasing cpu usage--though it is now usage of one core instead of two. Contradicts our premise, doesn't it?
