Is there any good way to see what XP is up to? For instance, the Sims 2 takes about a minute to restore after being minimized. What on earth is it doing? I can see it hitting the hard drive, so that's the Bird's Eye overview, but I want more detail. Of course I don't have the source, it shows only an hourglass, so is there any way to see inside the system, other than the Task Manager?

Oh, and I suspect a memory leak, because it takes longer and longer each time I try minimizing and restoring, so how do you tell that? The Commit Charge in Task Manager doesn't seem to have much info.
