CPU usage

[kenwood]

Hi folks


Have been noticing a new problem over the past few days with my CPU usage.
I use Firefox as browser, which uses about 185k of memory. when RB is on this uses another 89k. and suddenly I'm at 100% and everything slows down to the proverbial speed of an irish funeral. - Dead slow !!!

Have done the usual things as per searches on net and to no avail. But downloaded Opera as a browser and this only uses 14k > 22K.

Can any users give examples of what their memory consumption is?

Using XP, 2 gb ram,

On my Vista PC, Radarbox uses:
Private = 92MB
Shareable = 10MB
Total = 102MB

Biggest memory hog on my PC is Internet Explorer at 270MB.  I have a total of 2GB of memory, and regularly run IE, RB, Planeplotter, FD6, Shipplotter, Outlook, Digiguide, etc. with no problems.

CPU load for Radarbox averages 15% (on a 2.8Ghz processor), using 10-12 threads.

Are you running an anti-virus software, and have you excluded RB folders from its scans?

On WindowsXP Professional with SP3 installed and having just rebooted I get:
RadarBox (ANRB.exe) = 75MB
Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) with just this forum topic loaded = 25MB

With this configuration the CPU Usage regularly jumps between 2-4% to 50-55% with very occassional peaks above this. I am running an Intel Dual-Core processor with 4GB memory on a 3.0GHz machine.

Your problem might be a network service that is getting stuck somewhere, have you tried temporarily disabling NetWork Flights by unchecking "Get Flights From RadarBox Network"?  Have you an airport selected in SmartView that perhaps isn't returning weather information (i.e. try running without entering an airport in the box)?

Maybe your browser has a service that it is continually retrying. If you go to the Processes tab in your Windows Task Manager what do the CPU figures show for each of the tasks listed there, which has the highest CPU usage?

I've got an XP Media Center 2002 SP3 laptop  (1.83gHz Intel Core 2 and 2gb RAM)  ANRB seems to consume about 82mb of RAM, CPU usage right now with 98 flights tracked [no network connection] is fluctuating wildly from 9% to 50%+.  Firefox (3.0.5) averages 120mb with my typical 3 tabs open.  The task manager performance tab suggests that I have 1,240,00 available memory (of 2,095,148 total)

I have a laptop with a 2.0ghz processor, and 2 gb of memory... will this be able to cope with the RB software? or should I add another 1g of memory?
Thanks

I've only just upgraded my 1.86 GHz laptop RAM from 1 to 2 Gb and the desktop from 2 to 3 Gb and they both ran the RadarBox software easily before the RAM upgrade.

You should have no problem.

My total memory usage at the moment is just over 0.5GB of the 1GB available (Windows XP). This isn't my main machine but is an eee box (ie. a puny little Intel Atom running at 1.6GHz) and apart from the occasional stutter it has no problems with the CPU hovering around 50% most of the time....and I am running AVG without any excluded folders!
