Really slows down my system

#1 (**permalink**) March 17th, 2002

I have the latest Limewire, 2.2.4 and the latest OSX with all updates. While I'm fairly successful finding songs and downloading them Limewire really takes over my computer. I have a G4 iMac 700, 512 ram. It bogs down so much the dock is very jerky and switching to other apps is very slow. When I look at process viewer Limewire is using 61 meg of real ram but 300 meg of virtual ram. Is that my problem? Does anyone have any suggestions to make Limewire play nicer?
Thanks

Figured out that I really did not have the latest java patch. Once I grabbed that it works much better, everything else running remains responsive.
So the bottom line for OSX users is to make sure your java is completely up to date!!
