And for how long does it stop responding??? Are we talking seconds or hours
or days? (The latter two may be a problem, seconds or even minutes is not
untypical.) 100% CPU means that Money is busy doing something. In many cases
after entering a transaction this stuff is all of the stuff like checking
for a recurring pattern to suggest, checking to see if this matches a
scheduled transaction, updating the spending thermometer stuff, updating the
cash flow graph, etc. Most all Money users experience some of this.
100% CPU usage generally does not mean you need memory. Thrashing the disk
swapping data sets that are too large for memory means you need more memory.
And that never uses 100% CPU since the disk drive is so much slower than the
CPU. But you might be better off with a new computer with a faster CPU. You
never mentioned what your current CPU is.
100% CPU usage is not, per se, a bad thing. It means the computer is doing
real work. That's what you bought it for, isn't it???
