- Buy more memory.
-
-
- The problem is that you are using quite a bit more memory than you
- have RAM. So what's happening is pages of memory are being stored on
- disk, and it takes significantly longer to retrieve them. That's why
- the windows take a long time to "appear."
-
- The only other solution is to use less memory.
