Thanks for the info -- I was wondering WHY!
I've got a run of the mill Core2Duo with 2 gigs of memory and noticed that TeaTimer was really busy at startup too. It hogs about half my CPU time for about 3 minutes or so when I start up. I was just curious as to what it was doing during that time. However it doesn't appear to have a noticeable detrimental effect on my ability to load or use other applications, so for the protection I feel it provides those 3 minutes are well worth it. Thanks for all the info and for the product too! :cowboy:
