Is there ever going to be a 32bit front end. In my opinion, its sorely needed. I am using mma with NT 3.51 Service Pack 1 on a 486/66 w/ 52Mb ram. When I bring up a perf meter or qslice (from the nt resource kit), I see that the "csrss" process is churning like crazy when the kernel and the frontend are running, even when I'm not doing anything. . My NT/windows friends tell me that that may be a consequence of the 32bit code communicating with 16 bit stuff, or the way the client-server communication is done. do you have any ideas as to what the problem is?
