[mapguide-users] dllhost high CPU - proj.dll and MgGeometry.dll are the problems...

[Andrew DeMerchant]

Hmm - ok, so what's the fix? I suppose I could write an app that looks 
for dllhost.exe and when it's running over 99% for x seconds, kill it. 
That seems a bit much though, not to mention a little dangerous -  
Should I make a trac entry, I wonder?
