RE: Whats up with the hourly database defrag?
ina_don,
The memory usage of Messenger has got nothing todo with Messenger Plus!.
Enabling sharing folders in Messenger invokes the DFS Replication service.
This service doesn't use any cpu power as long as you don't put gigabytes of data into the sharing folders (sharing folders is not for sharing warez, etc). It might be started hourly, but I can ont imagine that it takes a lot of resources if you just have a couple of small files in your sharing folders. Maintaining a 'database' of a few KB doesn't require a lot of cpu resources, and doesn't take long.
If you experience slow downs the chances are high it comes from somewhere else.
Just disable sharing folders for starters. If it doesn't 'fix' it, then report it to Microsoft. That is why there is a feedback menu in Messenger.
PS: oh, and if people ask for more details about your problem so they can look into it, then it is nice to provide more details instead of heaving a "since you ask that I assume you're dumb and I close my eyes to you"-attitude. Shawnz is absolutely correct in saying that not everybody stares at their event logs. And searching in event logs which probably contain thousands of entries for something you don't have any details about is also as good as impossible.
