sunrise using up 95-100% cpu resources
is it just me or is sunrisexp a great big cpu hog? i have an Athlon X2 3800+ and even THAT'S not enough to fill this savage beast's appetite for resources. i often get 95-100% cpu usage and i'm only updating 3 docs at a time too!

Any Windows process will use as much CPU time as it gets from the OS. Try extracting a large file ZIP or opening a large HTML page, you'll also see near 100% usage. And, yes, there's a lot of work involved in parsing and converting HTML and images.

yea but this is more than regular apps... i can be extracting 3 zip files and it still wouldn't delay my foreground reaction times.
but oh well, i guess i'll have to live with it or find something else. is there a way to put a pause button on the update window? right now i can only cancel all and reupdate everything again. it'd be nice to be able to continue where i left off. |

You can also set the priority for the task in Windows Task Manager (right click on the process to get to Set Priority). I've taken a different approach - I set up Sunrise XP as a Scheduled Task and run it unattended at a time when I'm not likely to use the PC.

Sunrise XP is wholly meant for incidental usage. I.e. on a scheduled basis every few hours or "just in time" during HotSync. You're not supposed to be using it all the time.

well i think the point is that even for incidental usage, no application should be able to take focus from other apps if possible, and right now, even with 1 update going on, i can actually "feel" response times on my forefront apps slow down.
i guess this is something to think about on improving the multithreadability of sunrise. |
