Thanks John, but the bitmap is minimal. The app has virtually no user
interface, save for a couple menu items and a status bar. It’s purpose is
to host a collection of independent scripts, with each script running in
it’s own thread. The real user interface is in another app, connected to
the main app via named pipes (and sometimes w/ memory-mapped file sections).
The app does have quite a few threads running, but they are all non-visual
threads.
The bad part of it is that when the thrashing occurs, all computer activity
HANGS - even task manager’s update. Another interesting thing is that it
only happens the first time you minimize the app. Subsequent minimizes seem
to work normally.
Thanks for your reply,

Subject: [ntdev] [off topic] excessive disk thrash when app is minimized
Hi Bill.
I don’t know if this is relevant or not, but I’m noticed disk thrashing when
minimizing when there is a complicated bitmap for the desktop.
Hope this helps!
