cpu used from amule in percent ??
« on: March 14, 2006, 11:33:44 PM »

hi there,

i have a simple to solute problem. my titanium powerbook is really hot, when i use edonkey2000. i think the 50-70% that edonkey2000 used the cpu , is caused by the java-programmed client (is that right?? it might so to me.)
my questions:
is amule programmed in c or c++??
is there a better performance??
is here anybody with a g4 ppc with 800 MHz and can tell me the cpu-usage from amule ??

thanks a lot. have a nice evening and a high ip

Edonkey 2000 is a huge CPU hog. aMule used to be pretty light on your CPU but it is somewhat heavier now since 2.1.0. My guess is, though, that it's still less resource hungry than the official edonkey client.

If I were you, I would just give it a shot: turn off edonkey2000, download aMule, throw in a number of files you want to download, and run it a few hours to see how much of your CPU it takes. I would actually be quite interested in your results, so if you could post them here that would be great.

If it turns out that aMule is still too heavy on your CPU you can try mldonkey (now mlnet). It's missing a number of aMule's features but it's the king of low CPU usage. When I was running it a few years ago on my G4 867mhz it usually used about 1-2% of my CPU.

And amule is written in C++ ^^

well d'uh, he can't use aMule daemon which is way less resource hungry than the caml-coded mldonkey
