What are the first steps for diagnosing a slow machine?
I don't switch off the computer at work when I go home.
I run Firefox, some IDE's and Skype. These programs are most memory consumable and have many threads running inside.
When I come back to work in the mornings, log in - my computer responds soooo slowly. It tries very hard to restore minimized windows, switch tabs an so on.
I have notices hard drive indicator flashing constantly during that period.
In Resource Monitor I can observe read and write to pagefile.sys at 1Mb\s by the system. I have tried to switch off swap file, but still, having 4Gb RAM (on 32-bit machine though), it soon crashes my system due to lack of memory.
While, having the computer going hibernate doesn't cause that performance drop.
Is there a way to do have Windows running on relevant speed and having it switched on?
3Some of your program, probably Firefox, have memory leaks and start to too much memory when they're left open. Trying upgrading them or close them more often. – billc.cn – 2011-10-07T20:11:40.427
