High CPU usage as of latest version

Post by azsx »

Hi,

I'm getting CPU utilisation of about 4-15% on version 1.1.12.2. To put that into perspective, I have a quad core machine at 2.2ghz with HT and all other idle processes use less than this.

Is this to be expected? It seems very high.

Thanks.

Hi Steven,

Sorry about the screenshot, I had one ready and then forgot to post it.

I have since discovered that one of my HDDs was corrupt and the CPU consumption has dropped to a more reasonable <3% after repairing the partition. I don't know if that is normal or not if this is related but I'm satisfied with that. Please disregard my original post, sorry for the bother.

It must normally be < 1%
