Should Fish Tycoon.rwg be taking 75% of my CPU usage. Im running an AMD Athlon 3000+ with a gig of ram...

That sounds about right, but only if there are no other applications needing system resources. When there is "competition" for system resources, Fish Tycoon yields priority to other applications, even at the expense of its own performance. That's why you'll occasionally see Fish Tycoon "hesitating" - it's giving priority to another application.

Egads, lol. I was going to burn a dvd then i was like whats eating all my resources...its beating out even my download programs for ram usage and processor power. I run a utility that gives me a toolbar on my screen that monitors a lot of my system critical stuff for me so i can always see it. ram, cpu, uptime, network bandwidth, etc, its really handy. Search statbar if your interested. Id reccomend it to anyone whose computer literate. Thanks for the speedy responds and my fish tycoon transfer went perfect.
