you may be working successfully at 48 processes, but do you have an Intel
Celeron M processor? If you have a Pentium M chip, that's like comparing
oranges & apples.
The fact of the matter is, when your CPU is running at 100%, that's the sign
of too many processes for that processor.
He did not say what 35-45 processes he's running.
