Pegasus is hogging my CPU!

Jerry Wise:

Is this a recent install? Same machine? Recheck Tools, Options,

General, Advanced and confirm that winsock loading is set to Always.

 

OK. This is what I found and I am trying it. Assuming it works, can anyone explain to me why? What was going on that caused the problem that this fixes?

I have realized that Pegasus is behaving in a way that I find strange and don't understand.

When

Pegasus is left loaded but not being used, its use of my CPU rises to

50% and there is lots of disk access. Then, if I do something with

Pegasus the CPU usage drops to zero for a while. But when I stop using

it, it soon goes back up to about 50%. This seems to go on indefinitely

(longer than I have had the patience to watch it). Can this be normal?

It

has occurred to me that Pegasus might be doing some sort of

housekeeping. I do have a lot of mail in my mailbox. But I would think

that would end eventually. The thought also has occurred to me that

Pegasus might be infected with some sort of virus. However, I have not

found any references to such by searching.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is going on?

I am using Pegasus 4.63 on WinXP SP3.
