It's eating way too many cycles, though, and for that matter LyX seems to be eating more than I would expect. I just tried on my office PC (my laptop is not at hand just now). During loading of a document, csrss ate CPU cycles in the single digit to maybe 15% range. Once the document was open, typing didn't involve csrss enough to register. (My office PC is a dual core screamer, though, so that might be a factor.) Which version of LyX are you using, by the way (and which installer, although I doubt that matters)? /Paul
