I'm certain I'm not making this up. Quite often I'll notice something is taking longer than it should (a Visual Studio build, some unresponsive app, web page load or whatever). I'll hit crtl+shift+esc to open up Process Explorer to see what's going on. But the instant I press the keys, the hanging app starts responding and finishes what it's doing.
Normally I'd think this is coincidence, but it happens so often (and on several machines) that it's made me curious; could something be causing this behaviour? If so, perhaps I should write a program that just launches Process Explorer repeatedly to improve performance!
