Programs Eating Up Too Much Memory

[mastavic]

Hey Everyone!

I have a small problem with some of my programs, such as KazaaLite, eating up too much of my computer memory. When a program like KazaaLite is downloading even as little as one file, it uses up to 98% of my CPU memory. Is there any way to lower this so that I will not lag when I try to run other programs alongside KazaaLite? (FYI: I run a Windows XP Professional computer).

Thank you!
