Kurt, I usually have several programs running in the background, when using
chess engines: resident Antivirus scanner, ISDN monitor, bluetooth stack. These
proggies never steal more than 1-2% of cpu time, so I don't see any problem with
them remaining resident in memory.

Of course running a full virus scan while playing engine matches is not really
helpful. ;-)
