    I had a P4 machine that would slow down while doing number crunching. Turned out it was over heating when diddling numbers. The P4 chippy would slow itself down when it got hot. The solution was a bigger heatsink on the P4 and an extra case fan sucking the air out of the case, blowing it out the back. CPU temp dropped from 60C to 30C when running this app.
