High CPU usage in Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit environment. #244

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Start Peerblock
2.  Monitor process CPU usage
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Peerblock uses 25% CPU even when no network traffic.

The amount of CPU time taken by Peerblock seems high, particualy when 
there is no traffic to intercept (router turned off and only PC on network)

The result of the high CPU in my situation is that it causes LiveTV and 
RecordingTV in Windows Media Center to go blocky and artifact, this does 
not occur when peerblock is not running.

What version of PeerBlock are you using? On what operating system? 32- or
64-bit?
Peerblock 1.0 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Atom 330 Dual Core ION based PC.  (ASRock HT330-BD)

Please provide any additional information below.  Make sure to attach
peerblock.log and/or any screenshots that would help explain your problem.

This happens to myself as well. Same Version, OS, and about the same CPU Usage.
(I run a Playon and PS3 Media server that becomes affected when this occurs.)

The only difference is that it only seems to occur when my PC has been idle for 
a
while. I stopped and started Peerblock went back to almost no CPU usage for 
now. I
have not been able to determine how long the PC needs to be idle before it 
starts
using the CPU. I have not been able to determined that anything else was the 
cause.

Once it goes up, it stays up even when the PC is in use again. Also double 
checked to
ensure no traffic during this time.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Unsure exactly what causes this but I found it through 
1.  Monitoring CPU usage for the Peerblock process

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Peerblock uses about 47% CPU even when disabled.

The amount of CPU time taken by Peerblock seems ridiculously high, particualy 
when 
it is disabled and not doing anything.

What version of PeerBlock are you using? 
Peerblock 1.0

On what operating system? 32- or 64-bit?
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
on Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.40Ghz), 4GB RAM

After ending the Peerblock process (through Task Manager) and launching 
Peerblock 
again, CPU usage for the process drops to the normal 0%.
