I had the CPU hogging problem as well, I am running win2k pro.
I found a way of stopping it hogging all the CPU cycles

logon in admin Privileged account
open up taskmanager, (damn its slooow when CPU is hogged)
select the xolox process,
and set it's priority to "high"

wait a few seconds and your CPU should be free again.


this little tweak worked on my lag box

AMD k6-2/500 on GA-5AX
128MB SDRAM
56K 3com
15GB IBM (stuffed full of sh**)

hope it works for u guys'n'galz
