Well...................................
I owe y'all who spent so much time helping me troubleshoot my lag a huge big apology, we finally found the culprit What it was: DUST. Yes, my CPU just couldn't breathe, and finally today, when my computer quit altogether, it dawned on us. Mur took it apart and blew it out, it made a sand storm that could be seen in the Sahara. Also the layer of dirt on the CPU fan was enough to fill the North Sea. To cut a long story short, when he put it back in its place, spick & span & shiny clean, all my woes were over. In fact not just MQO is lag free now (with webcam and all 88 processes running), but other programs that seemed sluggish run a lot faster too.
I'm sorry I gave you all a bit of a runaround, but at least we know.... Actually I should have guessed a lot earlier, because the longer the puter was on, the more trouble I got. I kept thinking it had a memory leak, but in fact it suffered from a heatstroke! Please don't kick me out of the beta, love being here... now that I can finally enjoy it
