Uncheck it to revert to the speed you are used to. On a related note: I would expect Stuffit to perform almost as well with this option checked as without if no other programs are using CPU cycles in the background. This is not the case, though. Does anyone have any clues why? Edgar (knapp@cs.utexas.edu)
