[v1.3] 100% CPU and running very slow

[Scrambler]

I have tried the LOMAC-ZORLAC-1.3.0 profile and found LOMAC to be unplayable with the TEWS tab open [Have set up LUA export as in documentation and display was updating]

The profiles do seem to take a bit longer to load up 5 - 10 secs but nothing much to worry about.

With TB running with TEWS tab open processer load about 30 - 35% in task manager, drops to 2 - 3 % if another tab selected [note LOMAC obviously not running]

I have noticed the debug file was over 3 megs after a 10 min flight in LOMAC ? Debug set to 0, tried setting to 1 but results similar. Should it always write a debug file? [was only expecting to see debug file if it had errors with debug set to 0]


Hope this info of some use.

with debug = 0, the debug text file should ony have a few lines in it. The debug status is only read once, when TB is initially started. If you change the debug option while TB is already running, it wont take any notice of it.

I`ll see if I can make the active modules less processor intensive.... might be possible, might not.

With debug = 0 it creates a debug file.

With debug = 1 it creates a debug file.

And yes TB was exited and debug file deleted before restarting.



Pasting the first few lines from each debug file as an example

with debug disabled, this is all that should appear in the debug file:

If you are getting huge debug files (i.e more than the example above), then debug is still enabled, either in touchbuddy.cfg or touchbuddy-local.cfg. Please check these files for the debug option and disable it. If its enabled, not only does it spit out debugging info to the disk file, it also does some other routines that can slow the application down.

OK, what does humble pie look like? anyone know the recipe?

Even though I have disabled debug, its turning itself back on again, so yes, its spitting out shedloads of text to disk. New build on its way shortly, once I can convince my code to behave

[ruggbutt]

The fix has been found (for me at least). I'm using NOD antivirus and while I disabled it while testing with Z, the AMON scanner runs quietly in the background. And it slows the bejeezus out of TB. So for me, the fix was disable AMON in the NOD antivirus program.

new build uploading as we speak...

- (v1.3.0 Rev. 11) - FIX: 13th January 2007
Fixed a rather over zealous debug routine that was still writing out to disk,
even though it was explicitly told not to. This particular misbehaving routine has
been taken round the back and shot, and replaced with a new routine that behaves now.

New v1.3.0 revision 11 builds up and online:

I've been having these spikes in CPU usage, about 1 second apart. I'll try the new download and see if that fixes it.

It would go from 1% - 15% about every second, and seemed to take the focus away from what I was doing. At one point I was trying to open the Folder combobox when saving a file, and every time it opened, it would lose focus and close. I had to close TB to get it to work.

[ruggbutt]

The file monitor system in my anti-virus was causing this for me. I disabled it and now TB loads quick and runs the way it should.
