- I agree. The solution is to run Executive. It works brilliantly with AWeb.
- When I was doing some testing I removed Executive and found out what you mean,
- AWeb does really tie up the whole system when busy decoding images.
-
- If you do not already know, Executive is a dynamic task scheduler, and
- performs brilliantly with cpu loads such as this. It does not slow down AWeb
- but allows you to carry on doing whatever you want without sluggish response
- from input.device etc. In general in makes heavy internet sessions so much
- smoother, being able to quickly switch screens and do things while the cpu is
- very busy.
-
- Probably the best 10UKP I have ever spent :)
