excessive HUD CPU usage (Beta 14)

[six4withafro]

i see why my config file descriptions were confusing. updated to pg sql 8.2.9 and pgadmin 1.8. the config file doesn't look like the one I've been working with anymore!

fingers crossed that the db restorations work properly, then we'll test the new and improved and see what happens.

when i first installed postgresql 8.0 we were specifically instructed not to update it, and that persisted for a while, and i stopped checking (it wasn't broke, so i didn't try to fix it). i've got to think i'm not the only long-time customer still using an old install, and i would think that's part of the problem here. even though there are still issues, i'm not seeing cpu usage in excess of 80% (and that was BOTH cores). now i'll run cluster/vacuum/analyze and play with it some more (didn't do that initially because I was going to work). i'll also have to see if the default layout makes a difference.

it's definitely running better now, but i still get all those tablecover windows in the task bar when i select a table.

total cpu usage: still too much I/O, much less cpu (more kernel mode though)


1 of 2 most active postgres.exe processes:


2nd:


i now have 7 child postgres.exe processes. physical memory usage is pretty meager.

cpu with all 18 tables unminimized:

and when i clock stop hud, pt3 freezes, have to kill the process

I have the same type problem playing 10 tables on stars, AMD Athlon 64 2x dual, 1GB ram.

The screen freezes for about 20 seconds every 30 minutes.

I mean 64 x2 dual 1.8 GHZ.

just renaming layouts.pt3 to revert to a basic hud for now and see if your problem persists...

I renamed my layouts file and the I/O activity returned to normal. However, the cpu activity increased greatly, especially when I have the tables "un-minimized." And because the newer version of postgreSQL does more processing in kernel mode, my computer is lagging and freezing. Also, the default HUD is useless for work.

Where do we go from here?

[lazy_monk]

I used 4 stats in my hud instead of 12 (this is 9 players per table); so cut from 12*10*9=1080 to 1/3=360.
no change

this hud is killing me, it freezes my screen for 20 seconds (almost folded rockets); it slows all windows opening moving to snail pace.

i'm starting to experience the same thing. i can't toggle to windows that aren't already on the screen, cuz it takes forever. also, my stats have stopped updating. i went back to my hud because it doesn't work any worse.
