Speed Up Program

[Burt]

Hi,

I'm running my MS Access 202 program on a Windows XP
Professional Notebok. I noticed it was running slow and
opened the Windows Task Manager. There were no other
programs running and I saw the program was only using
between 35 to 40% of CPU resources. I run the same
program on a NT 2000 Professional and I saw the CPU
resources at 95 to 99%.

Is there a way of programming the amount of CPU resources
being used by a program at any one time?

If so, please advise or direct me on how I can accomplish
it.

Thanks,

Burt

There are many utilities available that allow you to evaluate your system
performance, including the hard disk subsystem.

For instance:

Note that it is virtually impossible to get all parts of a system running at
full capacity all the time - there will always be a bottleneck somewhere
(CPU, RAM, disk, video, network) and it will shift depending on the tasks
being carried out.
