Slikk,
Interesting. I never had to restrict affinity on my Dual Core system. From the symptoms,
I believe you are suffering from Bloated Pilot Syndrome. Try flying a different pilot if you are only flying single ship. If you have multiple wingmen, they could be the source of the bloat. Look in your Resource/Pilots folder (I may have that wrong, but you will find it). Generally the file should only be <100K or so, but sometimes the pilot file gets corrupted and grows to > 1MB. Delete this (these) file(s).
It may have been coincidence if you flew a different pilot after restricting the affinity.
F/A-18 won't use the two cores anyway, so the affinity fix won't hurt anything.
