Has anybody noticed excessive disc activity while Boinc is operating.

I only activate Boinc in the screensaver period during which the hard

Any thoughts ?

Is your system suffering too little RAM for all the other applications 
that you've got active?

Sounds like your system is using the swap file (virtual memory)...

Thanks for your input. I doubt that I am running out of ram as I have
1gb of ram installed and no other applications running.
