Windows XP: Why the machine slow for a minute when I put my machine for some time?
This probably has something to do with Windows, so I find this the right place to ask. if it's not - my apologies.
If I open an application, and just leave it open while I'm using other applications, when I get back to it - it's extremely slow.
So if I do something like typing, the program hangs, but after that typing wouldn't cause another hang. and then if I open a menu, it hangs and the same thing happens.
I need to "load" like this every feature I need to use in order to have some good workflow. so it's somewhat frustrating for me.
What causes this? it seems to be deliberately implemented by the OS (maybe to free up resources?), so is there a way to stop it from happening?
Thank you.
