I'd suggest increasing the PT import interval to at least 2-3 minutes. You won't really notice any difference in the stats, and it'll really save some power. You could also try lowering MTH's priority, although i would almost expect it to be troublesome. One thing i have noted is that my secondary monitor (2 x 2001FP) doesn't have nearly the same amount of graphics acceleration as my primary one has (both conncted to same video card (DVI/VGA)). When i have a lot of Party tables on my non accelerated monitor that really bogs down the system to a halt sometimes. It's a longshot, but if you're running two monitors, try to see if there's a difference in keeping all tables on one of the monitors compared to the other.
