Send your computer to me when you get it... Or at least take screenshots of your games.
A 'little' less? the difference is almost an order of magnitude, and there is also a major difference in CPU usage to get the same work done since Azureus runs under the JRE. It's really amazing, and shocking, that all those features can be implemented in a program so tiny compared to all the others that do the same things. Plainly, disregard for efficiency of programs is what has got us to the point of needing a gigabyte of RAM in a standard desktop computer. (Yes, Windows 'Vista' will need close to a gig since the standard 'minimum' system recommendation is always about 1/2 of what you need to use a program properly...)

If more people would program in C++ and not Visual Basic or Python we might not need so much computer power for our ordinary usage.
