Plugin persistently uses about 1-3% CPU #5

I've noticed that when everything is sitting idle, the python process attached to this integration seems to sit using just a couple percent of CPU, while all the others are using 0%. So I'm wondering if there's something this plugin is checking continuously where other plugins only update it intermittently? image

Are you sure that the process belongs to this plugin? My usage is around 0 to 0.3%.

But if I had to guess, it could be the active SQLite database connection to the game database file.

When I check the path it does seem to be the one belonging to the Amazon plugin image If I get a chance soon I might poke around and try to see if I can figure out why it might be happening

@micpp42 Would you mind uploading the latest log file for the plugin? Contents could provide more insights.

Hi, so I poked around a bit with Process Monitor and it looks like what's causing the issue is the app seems to be persistently scanning through every uninstall entry in the Registry - I'm guessing this is how it detects which games are installed? I don't seem to be getting this behaviour from other plugins (which all tend to sit closer to 0% cpu) so I'm guessing what might be happening is that this process is running in full every time where other plugins basically cache it (or they're pulling it in a less resource-intensive manner)? image

Might have something to do with a little mistake I made which caused the plugin to check the local games twice per ping. But registry access in general could also be a huge performance eater.

I made some improvements which I will review and release mid next week.

Rall3n commented 3 years ago

@micpp42 I just released a new version of the plugin.

It replaces the registry for installed games with a query on a SQLite database. Please confirm if this performs better than before.

That looks like it's fixed it, thanks!
