CPU flooding

eRIZ — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:59:26 +0200

Is there any option to control CPU using/priority for the DB thread? When FR is actualizing something, it floods CPU that may disturb (often, eg. when I'm watching the movie)...

Greetins,

I have added note, how to speed up things

http://www.feedreader.com/node/1238

DefaultDbCachePages variable in firebird.conf file, with this variable you can choose how much RAM is used for buffered operations. Less intensive IO's means faster Feedreader.

In Firebird database is very simple rule:
if you wan't less IO's then you must use more RAM, if you wan't that less RAM is used, then IO writes are increased.

3.12 alpha code seemed to cause system slowdown

After having the 3.12 alpha code installed for over a week, I noticed it seemed to be causing a system slowdown with a lot of constant I/O activity. Other than that, it seemed to work without a problem on my Windows XP SP2 system.

Ah correction. What I

Ah correction. What I noticed is when you have FR minimized to system tray, only then does the ram drop to 3-4mb. Only when your viewing it does it go back to 63-78mb use. Which is still good since I only view it when there are new articles to read.

I'm suprised at FR's development team addressing the performance issue. I'm even more surprised at the improvements made when testing out the alpha. Started up the FR and saw the memory at 9mb. Refreshing all feeds brings it up to 80mb. After a few minutes it drops down to 4mb. Very impressed at the memory savings. I dunno if that was the intentional plan for performance addressed but none the less I am very impressed. what I find strange is how it keeps jumping from 60-78mb then back to 4mb. No matter, aslong as it stays low thereafter from updating the feeds, I'm very happy with the low ram usage. Though I use 2gb, having less memory hog apps is a plus for me. Thanks for the continued work and development FR team and I can't wait for the beta then final.
