It does slow things down. I've tried to get rid of it but so far I've failed. However, If you right click it in Task Manager and set priority to low, it's disruptive effect isn't as bad
   

this file is called from a game executable or a safedisc (v2.9 on sim city4 deluxe) protected program that checks for authenticity of the disc or license. It is made by Macrovision and the program is called cleanup. It is the actuall program that is executing when you see the box pop up and say "Please insert the correct CD"

On the Windows 2000/XP operating system the license manager is installed as a manually started, LocalSystem service named “Macromedia Licensing Service”. An additional process related to the license manager is called “~e5d141.tmp”. Two instances of this process are present when a Macromedia application is running.
