Subject: Pentium 4 slowness?
I run an IBM NetVista Pentium 4 (1.3GHz) with 640 MB memory, Windows 2000
pro and v7.2 MetaStock with a build date of 3-20-2001.
I notice that my more complex system tests take TWICE as long to run on this
machine as they do on my 450MHz PII as well as my Celeron 600MHz laptop. I
defrag the drives, etc and notice no slowness on other apps.
Any ideas why??? I have reported this previously to MetaStock support on the
phone. They tell me that there have been recent similar reports but they
thought that it was due to the XP O/S, but then I said that since most XP
machines are also running P4's they said that the P4 may be the issue and
they would look into that, but no reply after a month.
Anyone else done speed tests on P4 vs PII or PIII and/or Celerons?
