Well my processor is quite a bit slower

Still this turn time is annoying and weird. I'm thinking there might be an issue with Windows 7 resource management that causes it to throttle or kill Dom3, but in Task Manager it does show Dom3 taking 50% CPU. Something is making the program not respond.

Is there a way to change how Windows recognizes "dead" processes?
