What Does SS 3.2 Do When You Close It?

Anyone else notice this?

-Start SonicStage 3.2

-Open up task manager in windows and look at the processes (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

-Find the 'Omgjbox.exe' running process and select it

-Now go over to SonicStage and close it via the [X] or File > Exit

-Go back to task manager and notice that not only does SS 3.2 not close but it continues to use system resources and access the HDD (a closed program should not be using any CPU %)

It does this for about 10sec on my computer before finally stopping.

Anyone know what its actually doing during this time? My original thought was clearing the temp files created during transfer however it does this even when no transfer is done.

probably checking the database or suchlike. many programs do this, getting rid of memory resident sub-programs, checking the datbases, just generally ramping down.

try it with say bittorrent or the like they'll go for 30-2mins sometimes, perhaps to confirm to the network/server that it;s no longer running.

3.1 still does it on my pm1.6 with 512 ram & nothing else apart from avg running.

as you can see from my answers i don't actually know why but i can asure you it's not uncommon.

Tested this on my laptop with 2 Ghz processor & 1GB Ram. The application only stays open in the active processes for about 2 seconds before disappearing. I wouldn't worry about it too much. As atrain says it's probably just closing down gracefully (or trying at least).

That was with 3.2 btw.
