Have not specifically noticed this on my Laptop but I
believe a lot of work went into XFIT to give it
some highly optimised algorithms to make it run as 
fast as possible on Win95 (and Win98). 
Thus this could be stressing the CPU and Memory in
a way standard Windows programs do not(?).

One drawback for some of the compiler switches used
is that XFIT is not 100% WinNT friendly.

It would seem so.  Alan Coehlo is now working for Bruker on
the newly written Topas peak profiling/Rietveld/Structure
solution software - which uses both traditional and
fundamental parameters based methods.  Thus Topas should 
be seen as the sequel for XFIT/Koalariet.
