a) Check the location of your temp files and b) disable any virus scanning software and retest. Also, a Celeron processor is a cheap processor - it does not have a lot of built in cache. This could cause problems.

>We just upgraded to Celeron 2.8GHz machines with 256 MB of RAM that came with Windows XP installed. When using Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8, processes that ran fine on the older machine (1.4 GHz with 256 MB, Windows 2000) now take a lot longer to run. When I open Task Manager, it shows the System Idle Process running at 90+ percent while VFP only gets the remaining 10% or less. How can I tell Windows to give the FoxPro session a larger share of processor time?
