If a copy is truly a copy it will have the same form, fit and
function. The copy is being run on the machine that did the install
and made the copy, so there is no change in hardware. Since the copy
causes the activity monitor to peg, and the system to run slow, I
conclude that something is different.

How do I determine what is pegging the activity monitor? All I know
is open the window list and start closing things. This is a fresh
install so there is no added clutter, and little to close.

How do I determine what is different about the copy? Yes, I know this
may be the same question, it is just a different approach.
