I try to keep DisplayFusion as lean as possible, so I always welcome any performance observations.

I made a comment earlier about threads. I openned up Process Explorer again to have a closer look, and I realized that DisplayFusion is using/referring to a DLL file called mscoree.dll, which is Microsoft's .NET Runtime Execution Engine (version 2.0.50727.3053). Whenever I move the mouse around, that's when the CSwitch Delta value in Process Explorer climbs from 10 to about 193 per second.

I am sorry to have made such a fuss about threads. What I posted earlier to the forum was probably a bunch of nonsense, and I might have made a fool of myself.

DisplayFusion works just fine on either the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows XP. It never crashes, nor do I get any error messages. It just works.

Best wishes,

Yep, I use it too and depending if you've got two (or more) widescreen monitors, it can be a long way back to the primary... :-D ]]> RE: DisplayFusion 3.0.5 - It's great, but why 'Open Task Manager'? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-305-its-great-but-why-open-task-manager/?ID=68929615-a0a7-4817-9b9c-4b9d56834573#3 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:10:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-305-its-great-but-why-open-task-manager/?ID=68929615-a0a7-4817-9b9c-4b9d56834573#3 DisplayFusion Its something I frequently use as well, and its just convenience to have it available on both taskbars. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion 3.0.5 - It's great, but why 'Open Task Manager'? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-305-its-great-but-why-open-task-manager/?ID=68929615-a0a7-4817-9b9c-4b9d56834573#2 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:23:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-305-its-great-but-why-open-task-manager/?ID=68929615-a0a7-4817-9b9c-4b9d56834573#2 DisplayFusion I added the "Open Task Manager" because it's something I frequently use on the Windows taskbar, and thought it might be useful. :) As for the thread count, I can't imagine why it would be over 100 per second. Typically, when DisplayFusion is mostly idle, it should hover around 10 threads. 4 of these are threads belonging to DisplayFusion (assuming you have the Taskbar enabled) and the others belong to the underlying .NET framework. ]]> DisplayFusion 3.0.5 - It's great, but why 'Open Task Manager'? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-305-its-great-but-why-open-task-manager/?ID=68929615-a0a7-4817-9b9c-4b9d56834573 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 01:23:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-305-its-great-but-why-open-task-manager/?ID=68929615-a0a7-4817-9b9c-4b9d56834573 DisplayFusion Hello Jon.

I enjoy using DisplayFusion. Thank you for building this great utility.

I noticed you added an “Open Task Manager” to the DisplayFusion context menu. I'm not sure why this feature was included, since I can access Task Manager from the task bar.

I was using Mark Russinovich's Sysinternals Process Explorer 11.33 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx), and I noticed DisplayFusion seems to be running quite a number of threads per second, ranging roughly between 7 and 117 or so. Is the software constantly checking the registry?

Cheers
