  And what driver are you suggesting to use instead (on the systems
with NTFS volumes)?

  A similar question: what can you advise to use instead?

  I'd like to recall that the situation is the following:
-  When I start Thunar, 'mount.ntfs-3g' process begins to use about 10%
of the CPU time in the highest frequency mode (!). And no matter
whether a folder on NTFS volume is opened in Thunar or on any other
(Ext3, for example). 
 -  When I close Thunar, 'mount.ntfs-3g'  consumes almost nothing and
the CPU stays in the lowest frequency mode (this means that the CPU is
not loaded much).

  So, Steve, please check the behaviour of Thunar and 'mount.ntfs-3g'
on your system under the similar conditions. Just open Thunar and what
'top' shows about 'mount.ntfs-3g'. Then close Thunar, compare and
please, post the results here. I need to know if this is only my
problem.
  Thanks.

  Vladimir.
