[WriteLog] Win ME and throughput

[Sherman Banks (W4ATL)]

I agree.  I saw slowdowns using Win 98 during my major effort during SS
phone & CW.  I do not notice it during small contests that I participate in
part-time.  I don't want to go to XP since I need LPT keying.

I have noticed same problem on 10.28C on Windows 98 & ME.  You won't
see the problem on NT,2000 or XP.

This seems to be a GDI/User memory leak.  On 98 & ME, no matter how much
memory you have, GDI/User memory is limited to 64K; this should not be
a problem, unless there is a leak.  I've not been able to track down
where or what is causing it, to report to Wayne, but certainly I've had
to restart WL a couple of times during a contest.  I'd ask everyone to
watch for it, beause it is there.  Just damned hard to pinpoint.
