System slow down (PR#3668)
Don't submit *two* bug reports as a question. That's not what R-bugs is for, rather R-help. And it is never necessary to send a report twice. The answer to your question is that no one else has reported a change, and with XP Pro no one here has a problem. I can suggest you look into your antivirus software, as there is a known problem with XP auto-update and most virus checking.

Full_Name: Jeff Benjamin Version: 1.7.1 OS: XP Home Edition Submission from: (NULL) (131.202.163.72) Recently have been using R1.7.1 on a new laptop computer. System and software worked fine for at least two weeks. Now the entire OS slows down to the point where one would think it had frozen. I feel there must be a compatibility issue between R and XP Home (including auto updates / service packs) as these are the only items I have changed recently. Has anyone else had any similar problems lately?
