Limewire 4.9.30
Most recent java
Windows xpsp2
Memory 384 MB
CPU 1000 MHz

I have read all the relevant material concering cpu and memory usuage and unistalled and reinstalled limewire and the two different java packages without any significant results. It bogs down the cpu to the extent it almost freezes. I have yet to find a answer to this question even though it has been posed many times. Is it just that limewire is a cpu and memory hog?
