Another column to watch on the Processes tab is GDI Objects. A bad GDI leak can make your system crawl even though memory and CPU are normal.
You have to add the column (View / Set Columns / GDI Objects). I add it but leave most of the column out of site, then resize the column when I suspect a GDI leak.
Learned about it here:

And of course you’ve already written about Process Explorer (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000162.html), but it bear mentioning here.
Windows Task manager is good but I’m using Process Explorer
ITS FREE 2 DOWNLOAD AND U CAN REPLACE IT WITH WINDOWS TASK MANAGER

At startup, I have been seeing a burst of RED ( Bytes Sent). about 100K
Just to be sure that it is not some kind of malware sending out logged
data I’d like too know what process or application is doing the sending?
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks
