Hi, i have been trying out eMule plus 1m and Shareaza 2.0. I like
them both for different reasons but they both (shareaza somewhat less
than eMule) are bringing my 512MB mem/Athalon 2500 to its knees. I
realize i don't have the speediest system but it seems like if an
application that (is not graphics/sound/etc) fluctuates between using
20-90% of my CPU then something is wrong. Is there something that can
be done to prevent these apps from hogging all my clock cycles? (i am
running this on XP Pro, i have been trying to find a windows port of
"nice" but no luck so far).

Any help would *really* be appreciated!


Cheers

It's taking long cpu cycles because it is searching the network for
files you told it to search for.

Like if you search for "Eminem - Slim shady", it will not use much cpu
cycles, maybe 10%.

But after it displays 500 songs of "Eminem - Slim Shady", it will start
using more cpu power, maybe even 100% because the list of songs found
for "Eminem - Slim Shady" is getting bigger and bigger.
So once you find like 500 songs, click stop on the autosearch and your
cpu usage will go back down.

It happens all the time in Kazaa.
