I'd suggest it >perhaps has something to do with the new Fritz 9 GUI ? I tried again with the Fritz 8 GUI today. At first I thought it was okay, but after about two and a half hours I noticed the same behaviour. Just for about 2 minutes, then things went back to normal. The problem is that I have to sit in front of my PC, staring at the screen, waiting for it to happen. If I miss it, there's no way for me to know it's happened. I have another PC that uses Windows 98. It "only" has 512 MB Ram, and I just set a 64 MB hash size, but I don't notice any problems with unnecessary disk swapping. To repeat my initial question: is there any way to prevent Windows XP from swapping memory out unnecessarily?
