How many processes do you have running?

Just out of curiosity, how many processes do you have running on your system?

I just looked and have 31 ... wanted to hear what others have.

36

52......

I was able to cut mine down to 130. Made a huge improvement.

32 including IE ane OE.

22

13 or 15 with seti@home

36 on work comp

17 on o/c system #2 only running seti@home and MBM 5

12

Holy Crap! What all do you turn off to get it down to that ;( I thought I was fairly lean at 22.

That is at startup, with no windows/apps open off of a fresh boot. I am actually at 15 right now because i had to enable ICS and one other service for VPN connection.

I turn off any driver helpers or anything that loads in the system tray on startup. I also turn off a load of services i know i don't need.

You only need 6 processes. That also excludes audio ...

34, with loads of (useless) stuff running.

38.

In this right moment, 25, but when windows has just started, only 22.

28

40.
Antivirus, Firewall, Spybot (both resident's on), WinAmp, FireFox, File Explorer, & OE are all running, too, so I'm sure that doesn't help things any...

But, then again, I've got 2Gigs of PC3200DDR on an AMD 64 3500+ (2.2GHz) ... C+A+D shows a 490Meg commit & *13%* CPU use.
I'm not exactly worried. =)P

You realise you resurected a 3 year old thread?

21 when gaming.

20 on startup 26 normal use

Windows XP:

Fresh boot = 16 processes, turning off hardware specific utiliy
like hardware monitoring and ATI driver services which is not
essential would be only 12 processes left with less than 80000K
commit charge on Task Manager. I can get it lower than 70000K
by turning off some more services but I can't accept it as it
will disable many functionality that I need.

Current settings is fully functional most of the time I use
it, some administrative program need Server service though,
which is turned off by me as it is make my computer vulnerable
to security attack from internet.








Without taskmgr.exe you know how many it would be...

all of them

Sorry I had to add my $0.011905 worth of non-sense...

28 including F-Prot, NvAppfltr, MBM5, and CMI... so it would be around 25 as my minimum to maintain the functionality I need...

I figure this thread will never die, as long as we are running processes in our computers.

My question is this; how do people find these old threads?

Personally, I figure if there hasn't been a post in a thread for 3 months, tops, it should just be deleted. Not my server, but man man, why keep all this crapola in the database? How's the defrag doin? Heh heh heh

IMHO, locked would be better.

121 processes (Fedora Core 6).

LOCKED should be the preferred method in that you archive the thread and it's still logged by all the freaking spiders on the net, like Google

33

19 on star up and at idle 22 when runing normal with mssenger and ie and a few extras to boot

57. I do a lot of multitasking, so it's much lower on startup.

62
mostly things like
Anydvd
VPC2007 on 2nd screen
and converter for DIVX-PS3/XB360

ANd my pcs still starts u faster than my laptop wich had a fresh install of xp pro

38.....

Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 @ 1.86GHz
2 Gig Ram

Geforce 7300GS.

160GB

DVD Multi recorder

Windows XP

36, Windows XP SP2

I find it isn't how many processes are running that makes the difference, but which process is causing my system to run at a snail's pace. It is usually the virus checker or antispyware that gives me most problems, so I have to pause the active scanning sometimes. However, the build I am running now has only 256k RAM with Windows XP SP2 Home. It is surprising how stable the system is with virtually no crashes. Often it is my higher end systems that give me problems.

35

65 Win XP SP2. I have a lot of network monitoring services running, but the system purrs like a kitten; it better, considering I have 4 GB RAM.

35 with Firefox

31, this does not include Firefox or the task manager itself.

49, but I'm including everything...web browser, task manager, etc
