System monitor ... As a default, System Monitor indicates your CPU time. For your purpose, this may not be very useful. You'll need to add some values to monitor. This takes some detective work since the results of one investigation should point in which direction to continue your search. Try adding Thread Count, Page Faults, Cache Utilization, Dirty data, and any others which 'sound' performance related. Look for 'unusual' results while you work. If things seem 'normal', choose some new values to monitor until you find something strange. Once you have an idea what the bottleneck is, you then need to find where it is and its cause. This is a 'feely' thing and not a real algorithmic science. It takes time, but the learning experience is rewarding. I can't give more details without 'being there.' I'm only trying to point you in a starting direction: you'll need to travel on your own. Interesting challenge though. Cheerios, PW. Hint: I can't get much from the 'line' graph in system monitor. I find the 'bar' graph easier to 'read.'
