Yes, of course - the taskmanager is always running in the background. But if 4 engines are running on the quad it is not easy to see when one of them has crashed and runs permanently as 5th engine...
I only see it, when 1 match has finished and there are still 4 threads busy.
Another reason for using Linux. :) "top" would show that instantly.
