    Hi All,

    I have noticed that there are around 14 processes! which significantly slow down the system. Is there any walkthrough on this? (guide or anything on what to remove to make the system running nicely)

    14? my R700 runs 63 processes usually and is fast as hell, no issues at all

    what makes u suspect the issue is process related? and what are the exact symptoms of this 'slow down'??

    my laptop shows the circle 'loading' sign constantly and the system is not-responsive and by no means snappy (I want to load something from the desktop and I have to wait everytime so that the circle disappears and I have the 'arrow')

    When I killed most of the processes the system run smoothly, so I guess it is the processes that slow down the whole system.

    you'll need to work through each one and disable it in sequence to see which makes the biggest difference

    on the taskmanager you should be able to see any that are eating cpu power as well.

    perhaps pop a screenshot on the forum here with all your processes and can have a look through to see whats suspect

    whats the full system spec?

    Thank you all for your commens, I stopped processes that didn't seem to be necessary and things are somewhat better.

    I think removing or stopping tempro will make a huge difference but I want to keep it.
