Re: System suddenly slow

Michael,

One thing that distinguishes WDSC from most other PC applications is 
that it accesses large numbers of small files. Anything that slightly 
degrades disk access will go unnoticed by most applications but will 
have a noticeable effect on WDSC. One thing we did is make sure the 
virus checker does not monitor any disk access in the workspace.
