hey!
1st of all: thnx for taking the effort to make a usable X-platform mule.

i experience a problem concerning the cpu usage of amule on my intel/linux box/kde 3.1.
1st i tried the 1.2.6 rpm package from you download page.
that version starts with ~12% cpu usage (4 files in transfer ~ 200 sources) but after a couple of hours the cpu usage rises to > 70% and finally to 100%.
the gui becomes very unresponsive while the 'core' (the up/downloading) still does it's work ok.
so i grabbed the cvs from 17th of march and compiled it with --disable-debug --enable-optimise to see if that helps. but i get the same result.

i've seen some posts dealing with cpu usage saying this can be caused due to wrong linking with gtk2 instead of gtk1. i've used the wx* rpm packages from your download page and followed deltaHF's instructions (thnx for that deltaHF) so i guess i should be on the right gtk side here.

anyways, here's some info maybe i miss something? is it all installed correctly?

[deltaHF]

tell me your prefs -> tweaks settings plz

greets

[Kry]

I fear a enable verbose

[Painkiller Jane]

hi guys,

thnx for very fast replies.
max con per 5: 30
verbose checked (good guess, kry;) that's a known problem?)
auto take ed2k checked
show transfer unchecked
filebuffer: 240000
queue size: 500
server refresh: 30 mins
u/l d/l list refresh unchecked
u/l d/l refresh time: realtime

i will try without verbose log output now. will get back to you if i experience any changes.

cheers,

pkj

enable verbose kills cpu usually. Imagine you have 40 sources disconection per second, and amule has to add it to dialog And sec ident debug output, and blahblahblah

[Painkiller Jane]

i see.
well, i'll report back here if the log really was the trouble maker.

thnx,

pkj

[Painkiller Jane]

yupp, it seems that switching off the verbose log solves the problem.
runs a couple of hours and still cpu usage < 12%.

never would have guessed that verbose can cause such a high cpu usage.
old win32 emule never had any probs in that department.

cheers,

pkj

We'll try to fix it, for sure.
