Well ,  to be honest, I have one of the emptiest system trays you'll see,
I'm a binary groups freak, and I have started to do some video/audio
editing.. It's not a huge drain on system rescourses, but even adding
another 2% to the cpu usage is too much for my taste..

I like it better like this, everything flows through the *physical proxy*
and leaves my cpu and ram to do what I want it to do. In fact, I dont even
leave the virus scanner resident..

I'm a little anal is all.
