WARNING: I use Megapov 0.5 but I'm sure this is a povray general
question.

Often when doing some projects that involve really intense parsing, such
as 50 000 interations of forces between 10 particles, I run into a
problem.  Simple mouse clicks and even switching between programs such
as povray and my POVRAY.INI Notepad session cause hard drive crunching.
This is the kind of thing that I'm sure is fixable by rebooting and is
due to povray's temporarily using up all the resources--often my Windows
clock is even delayed a few hours.

Q: What built-in system tool could I run on Win98 to determine whether
my fixes--closing & reopening povray, rebooting, waiting an hour, etc.--
have brought things back up to normal:
a) System Monitor: what do I look for?
b) Resource Meter: what do I look for?

Thanks.
