I'm having a weird problem where MS Word will "stutter" (ie, not respond to keystrokes for a few seconds, or cut and paste actions), but it only happens when I'm running my Ti800 on battery power. Under AC power, I have no problems.
It's like the hard drive is taking a moment to spin up, butI don't notice these short delays in other apps, and I've also unchecked "put the hard drive to sleep" in Jag's energy saver prefs, so it makes me wonder if it's the hard drive spinning down and then spinning up again, or something else (I've also tried trashing Word's prefs to no effect).
Is there some utility that will let me monitor what my hard drive is doing?
I've also wondered if my Energy Saver prefs are somehow screwed up, but don't know if it's possible to trash them.
Any thoughts much appreciated...
