I found something interesting. I had the latest version of Nortons System
Utilities installed. It correctly informed me that I was low on resources
whenever I had CB7.0 running, though it was happening so often that it was
almost unusuable. Just for the heck of it, I uninstalled all of my Norton stuff.
Voila! I have very few problems with system resources now (although it is true
that there is a small leak somewhere using cb7).
