I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro LAPTOP with a 900MHz processor (Intel) with 512MB RAM.
I have a Dell Dimension DESKTOP 800 MHz processor with 512 MB RAM.
I am running the same engineering application on BOTH of them.
The Dell system will consistently do 850,000 calculations per second.
The Toshiba will start out at around 850,000 calculations/sec and maintain that rate so long as I'm there to move the mouse pointer around every few minutes. If I don't move the mouse pointer, the system seems to enter a standby state that causes the processing to drop from 850k calc/sec down to 90k calc/sec (or less depending on how long it's been idle). The DESKTOP system does not show these symptoms so it has something to do with the laptop. I have it configured to use Desktop Power profile, do not hiberate, no screen saver, etc. None of this seems to make any difference. A friend mentioned cache, but this is not it because the laptop CAN maintain the 850k rate if I babysit it. Thanks !

hi device, actual sounds like you doing each of the right issues and that i'm wondering it is hardware and under no circumstances record defragmentation etc. what's the processing speed on your computer? How a lot RAM do you've accessible ? How large is your Hardrive? - in many situations at the same time as a puzzling force receives too finished it begins using the gadget memory further and extra to seize up on the ammount of disk area already occupied. i'd bypass a million step more desirable and say that i does no longer replenish a puzzling force to extra then 0.5 its ability... verify all of this, double up on ram, and also you need to be superb....wish this facilitates.

Get more RAM. One of the easiest ways to get more performance out of a computer.
Also defragment your hard drive every month or so. It organizes the files on your hard drive better so they are in one easy place, instead of scattered all over the place. It also frees up room on your hard drive without deleting files.

buy another memory stick buy a 512 stick m and put it in, that should give you 1 gig, if you have 2 256, replace them with 2 512, aslo, delete anything you arnt useing,

I think you might have too many programs running all at once.
