chibicitiberiu Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Task manager reports that uTorrent 3.0 (latest version to this point) uses an average 20% CPU (+/- 10%). That is huge, and the computer really slows down... even the browser doesn't take that much when it's rendering the page, with GPU acceleration on!Keeping it turned on while working on the computer is counterproductive.I'm using Windows 7, Nod32 version 4. My CPU is an Intel T4400 DualCore, at 2.2 GHz (I have an Acer Aspire 5732ZG). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 It would be more impressive for a browser to not use a lot of CPU while rendering a large webpage without GPU accel vs with it.Lotta file IO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibicitiberiu Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I was using the browser as an example... couldn't find a very good comparison...Yep, that is right... there is a LOT of file I/O, and uTorrent doesn't report it all... After it ran for few hours, these are the stats from task manager: READ: 70GB WRITE: 11GB. uTorrent only reported about 10% of that... why? My laptop has been running all day, for about 10 hours. uTorrent only ran for few hours (2-3), after I exited, but the process didn't close... and I can't kill it, only with a reboot. uTorrent got 45 minutes of CPU time in 2-3 hours. "System" only got 37 minutes... The only process that has a higher cpu time is System Idle Process.It uses a lot of CPU... on average 20-30%... that has a huge impact on the system, and combined with the high file I/O, the computer works like a Win98 machine running Win7... it slows down a lot, and Chrome constantly freezes... it's not the computer's fault, I have dual core 2.2 ghz processor, 4 gigs of ram, it's the software... without utorrent 3.0 running, the computer runs very smooth, but with it... horrible.I guess I will downgrade to 2.2, I can't keep such a hog running... it's way too inefficient.

sanyigz Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah i've noticed this too, 3.0 uses much more cpu than 2.2.1 also always bugging with the hdds making them noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero_G Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Same here, it's using a constant 10-12%, while the previous version only used max of 5%Edit: Seems that uninstalling the uMap App solved the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
