The amount of processes is largely inconsequential - most of the processes I am running are probably sleeping. i7-920@2.6 and 12GB RAM. 70 processes including an XP virtual machine running in the background, CPU usage according to my widget is 1%

Just had a quick jaunt over the channel solo and even though I was getting between 20-30fps it felt more like 5 with the stuttering. Core 1 on my processor was ~20% utilised and the other 3 cores around 5%. 6GB free. GTX295, texture memory full but one GPU at 95% the other at 5%.

The flurry at the start it loading, the green is in the menus and loading the 1st quick mission and under the blue line is ingame while flying at ~20fps. The zoom in the green and the drop in the other cores is swapping out to take this screengrab.
