There are lots of processes going on. "Inactivity" generally means "you sitting in front of the computer using it." If you're not sitting in front of the computer, someone else *could* come along and do all kinds of "bad" things with it. I don't have the "inactivity" setting on, but if I'm going to leave my computer for a while, I use Fast User Switching to switch to the login screen. -- Glenn L.
