Open up taskmanager, and sort the tasks by clicking on the CPU
column. When the PC slows, check to see what process is eating
the cpu cycles. If that process is seti, then there's someother
problem, because although seti eats any unused cpu cycles, it
yields to any other process.

Yes, that's the problem, all right.  I had already come to that 
conclusion.  What I'm looking for is a solution.
