I understand why, when I'm using 98% of cpu or 95% of memory, I get a
faded screen and a lasting hourglass. It has to get things done before
it can work on what I just asked it to do.
But why does that happen sometimes when I'm using 30-38% of the CPU and
40% of the memory? Why does it take 10 or 15 seconds for the hourglass
to go away and the screen to be at normal contrast? What is it doing?
Is there any process I could stop to make it stop doing this? Any
other remedy?
In this case I hadn't touched the compute for a half hour and I was just trying to type in a google search box in Firefox, in win10 PRO

If the data bus is overloaded, everything slows. Doesn't take much CPU
or memory to issue a request to transfer a huge block of data across the
bus, like for file changes.
Been way too long since I use the Resource Monitor to remember if it
show the level of data bus traffic. Paul might know.
