For TS4 you can reduce the utilization by opening the server and pressing
F2. This should open the portfolio window. Leave it open and then take
your readings. You will be surprised how the utilization drops!
In addition, If you are not running NT , try running CPUIdle, a shareware
program. That will further drop the utilization.
PLEASE POST YOUR RESULTS as well as your CPU temps if you have a
motherboard that features that.

They can 't seem to hold on to competent developers. It seems the good
leave if they ever get hired.
