Ive got an Intel dual core with Windows 7 and also noticed an AVG-type fix. Even running iTunes helped. I didnt like that solution longterm though, and eventually I found a setting in my BIOS called SpeedStep which I think is an Intel setting that throttles the cpus based on the load. I disabled this option and my slow motion problems ceased. Causes my PC to run a bit hotter, but thats the price I pay. Not sure this would help the original poster or not. Does AMD have a similar cpu throttling feature? Is that what the dual core optimizer fixes?
