O.P. RE: MSN Messenger huge resource hog
Cookie, when I open the Windows task Manager and click on the "Processes" tab you have a list of the running processes and below, at the bottom of the window there's a "Commit Charge" reading. When I reboot WinXP that reading is usually about 268MB and as I open applications of course this reading increases. What I'm saying is that having 3 MSN clients open (which adds 3 msnmsgr.exe tasks to the list) make the commit charge increase by a whopping 500MB approx. This can be concluded because when I end the MSN tasks (eventhough each of them uses ~9MB) the commit charge goes down to 300MB from over 800MB.
