Just wondering if there's a correlation between the CPU load, and network activity...
Ahh, my apologies. I misunderstood. I thought you meant traffic on the whole network, not just traffic leaving the computer. I don't think there was. I believe I tried disabling all adapters to test this (at this point I'm having a hard time remembering all the steps I tried).
On the four Windows notebooks that I have had the misfortune of using ever so briefly, all of them had the hard disk pegged for the first 20min or so after boot/resume: anti-virus scan running.
I don't think that's it. We're talking about 100% for 100% of the time. They told me the computer had been slow like this for a couple weeks. I also disabled all AV programs, all non-MS services, and a bunch of other stuff.
wouldn't hammering an SSD like that shorten its lifespan?
Most of that activity is probably just "reads", so extremely unlikely. I'd think it would certainly shorten a mechanical drive's lifespan though.
Thanks! That makes sense.
