breadfan Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi all.I have recently upgraded my OS from XP to Vista. I was running uTorrent on the XP for a loooong time without any problems. I usually changed the gui update rate from default 1000 to 50 so that the various gauges move more smoothly. But after the upgrade to Vista (if you can even call it a upgrade), after setting the gui update rate to my usual 50, the CPU is being constantly raped by uTorrent up to full 100% (Intel Pentium M 1,73GHz). However, after changing the gui variable back to default 1000, the CPU is no more being abused by uTorrent. Is there any kind of leak or something under Vistas? Has this issue been adressed before?Thank you in advance for any constructive response.Best regardsBreadfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hazel Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Seems like gui updates on Vista take more CPU than on XP (I assume?). Makes sense, given all the visual effects. Out of curiosity, what number between 1000 and 50 is reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadfan Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I don't think that uTorrent GUI has anything to do with Vista's Aero. It's just about how often the numbers and gauges are refreshed and they are the same as in XP, so no more CPU usage, I presume. I think that it's rather a problem of some kind of a CPU leak.Concerning you question, 1000 is pretty reasonable. I choose 50 so that the gauges move more smoothly. If you don't necessarily need that, I would say that even 5000 is sufficient. In genereal, the number means the "amount" of miliseconds between refreshes. Smaller number means more often.
