Just to clarify: When you say "continuously", do you mean that you
keep it running for long periods of time? Because I've had various
issues on XP with leaving Idle running forever - it begins to take
arbitrarily long to switch back to it after leaving it, umm, idle for
a while. This is on a 32-bit system with 2GB of RAM. These days, I
tend to shut Idle down when I'm done with it.
