4.5.2 cpu usage problem

Hi everybody,

I'm using the registered version of cam2pc 4.5.2. en during startup it uses about 98 % cpu. Also memory usage rises to about 40 MB.
Is this normal behaviour? I tried shutting down my virusscanner to see if it makes a difference. Also tried to disable previews but that also did not help.

If anybody's got a solution tell me please :D

Hello,

what do you mean by "during startup"? When cam2pc starts up? If this is the case then this is not issue: cam2pc has to do a lot things to initialize itself and it is normal that it eats up a lot of CPU. As for the memory usage it goes for the same thing except that the memory usage is more important if you browse a folder with a lot of images.

Can't see any real issue here. Did I miss something?

It does so when cap2pc starts up. Startup screen takes about 10 seconds to disappear and the GUI to appear. GUI works snappy when started, although cpu usage is still high (for about another 30 seconds). After that CPU usage drops to 'normal'.
Memory usage is still about 40 MB.

It's no issue, cam2pc works like a charm! But it seemed 'abnormal' to me as the cpu usage is very high for like 40 to 60 seconds !

Hum 40 or 60 seconds is very long. Do you have a lot of thumbnails in your database?

Not much, as I am just getting used to working with cam2pc. About 2000 thumbnails after optimizing.
Optimizing reduced the cpu usage to about 30 seconds.
