In either a mistake of Windows XP SP2s most recent updates and the most recent updates of the MC11 betas, it seems that MC has recently been keeping its images open even when I close the program. This can mean up to 4 or 5 MC images open at one time. What this does to my performance can't really be estimated, but each image does take up like 4-5 megs of system memory.
By image, I'm of course referring to the "image" column in the windows task manager under processes.
However, my computer has been crashing recently, and I think this might have to do something with it.
Here's the sysinfo in MC:
