why does Windows live Messenger slow down my processes

I am finding that when I have windows Live Messenger running on my PC windows
XP , the internet web browsing is slower , to such an extent that I now only
use Web messenger. Can anyone suggest that it is possible for this to happen
or do I imagine it?

Greetings,

Well, Windows Live Messenger does have a performance cost while it's running for a variety of
reasons. Although on a typical PC, it is pretty minimal and not really noticeable

As a sort of workaround, you might consider uninstalling Windows Live Messenger and using MSN
Messenger 7.0 instead:

It supports nearly everything Live Messenger does and the performance should be much better.
