The same here. Only they have a "anything older than 21 days gets deleted" policy, which is why I have a .pst file that is over 1gb, and that is having exported all attachments over 1mb.

Submission + - 45nm Phenom II matches Core 2 Quad, trails Core i7 (techreport.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday January 08, 2009 @01:07AM

An anonymous reader writes: AMD is debuting its 45nm Phenom II processors today, and The Tech Report has already run them through a complete suite of benchmarks to see how they perform compared to Intel's latest and greatest. The result? The new 2.8GHz and 3GHz Phenom IIs are in a dead heat with like-priced Core 2 Quads, but they generally fall well behind Intel's new Core i7 chips. TR concludes that AMD's future doesn't look as bleak as some say, and future Phenom IIs could compete favorably with more affordable Core i7 derivatives.

I'm not saying it's a good thing, or even something that I've ever seen, I'm just saying that if one happened to be synchronizing or when it's just openened, I could see the # of temporarily used threads get up there.
