Message 13071 - Posted: 28 Jul 2004, 12:33:50 UTC

I have about 50 WU's in queue on Intel P4 2.6GHz PC. When I left Work active and minimize GUI to SysTray it still takes from 5 - 10% of CPU time which seems to be really to much.
So I have to switch it to another tab, Projects, or anyone except of Work.
Is it possible to do something with it or we have to wait to some version when it will be fixed?

I got alternating CPU usage from 0 to 24% in Disk tab, and 0 to 2% with Work tab, with a period of 1 seconds (updating frequency I think)
My HW is PIII-800MHz with Win2K

you should always see 100% when boinc is running.

On the Work tab, there are several values which are updated every second or so. None of the other tabs have any regular updates like that.

So, it must be still doing the updates even when you minimize it with the Work tab selected.

To avoid it, select some other tab before you minimize the GUI.

That's clear, but WHY it updates listbox which is not displayed???
That's a problem which I want to point to them.
I'm developer, I know what's going on.
I see that I have to take a look on sources via CVS ...
