Computer Running Slow?...Here's One Reason

By John Evans

"Computer Running Slow?...Here's One Reason!" copyright 2001-02 John Evans

Just the other day, my computer started running a little slow. Kind of puzzled me. And I put up with it for a while.

But then it got a little irritating. While trying to surf the web, I noticed that web pages were taking much too long to load. This is always an irritant. And, Internet Explorer was also taking its time coming up.

Now, I'm no novice on the computer, but, sometimes we humans can get a 'lapse of memory'. Anyway, that's my excuse for forgetting one of the basics of computing; and that is that the computer uses up SYSTEM RESOURCES.

Every program on the computer, including icons, uses some SYSTEM RESOURCES.

Whenever a program is started, it loads into your computer's memory. Memory is a resource. Some programs will release the memory it was using, when you quit the program, and some will not. So, part of a resource is not being made available to you. Get enough of these, and guess what? Slow Downs! Hang-ups (freezes).

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I did a little experimenting with this. Here's what I found (remember, this is only my computer, and yours may vary): After about 3 hours of operation, I checked my available resources; down to 58% free. So, from the right-hand end of my taskbar, I exited the Resource Meter;free resources now up to 60%. Exited the Pop-Up Stopper; 63% free. Closed Windows Help; 64% free. Closed Windows Explorer; 66% free. Exited Download Accelerator; 71% free.

So, from 58% to 71% is a saving of 13%. May not sound like a whole lot, but it gives you a good idea as to why your computer may be slowing down.

How do you check your free System Resources? Just go to Control Panel>System>Performance. If you want to check it often, then just right-click on the System icon, choose 'Create shortcut'. It will appear on your desktop, and you can drag it down to the left end of your taskbar. Now it's available for quick use. Or...

Use the System Resource Meter. Go to Start>Programs> Accessories>System Tools, and click on Resource Meter. The meter will pop up in your task bar (right side), and you can keep an eye on it. When it starts to turn red, then your resources are getting low. But remember, it also is using up some of your System Resources.

When you restart your computer, these resources will be returned to you. But, as you again use the computer, your computer will again use up the resources.

It really is a 'never-ending' story, and something we all have to live with. But, if you'll restart your computer every once in a while, you may find that it runs a little bit faster.

Worth a try.
