The bigest problem is that if you have AIM then you also have AOL. That means 1/3 of your cpu cycles are being reserved by AOL. The best thing to do is get rid of AIM/AOL and anything associated with it. AOL is the biggest CPU cycle stealing HOG virus type program. IMHO it just isn't worth it, there are other better IM's and/or VOIP's out there. Teamspeak, SKYPE, ICQ,QQ,QQ2 even Yahoo is better.
