Additional comments:
I originally wrote this as a comment to Bug #1895, but given how old that is and the very limited tracker system in use here, I thought it would be overlooked if I didn't open a new ticket so here goes:
15 Oct 2012 12:39: Thomas Horsten wrote a comment. Hi, I know this bug was closed a long time ago but I think I am experiencing this now. I am using Synergy Server on a Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with 6-core HT CPU at 3.2 GHz. The client is an Ubuntu box. When SETI@home is not running everything is fine and it works really well. But when SETI@home is running (and maxing out all 12 vCPU's), Synergy becomes so slow that it's unusable on the Linux PC even though the local PC remains nicely responsive. I have to drag the mouse twice across the table to get from one side of the Linux desktop to the other, and the keyboard gets stuck in various dead-key states. If I suspend SETI@home the mouse becomes fast again and everything is good (after banging on the keyboard to get it out of missed Alt-key-up etc. event state).
In Task Manager, synergys.exe is seen as running with High priority. I can't set it to Realtime, if I try, it shows a dialog with "Unable to set priority to Realtime. The priority was set to High instead."
Apart from this, a very nice software package! Makes using multiple PC's on one desk a joy.
PS: The bugtracker in use here is pretty bad to say the least! It took me 10 minutes finding out where to report a new bug (not on the Tracker pages but only on the main homepage)!
