Jeff Norton -> OPART3 at 90+% in Task manager (3/22/2007 10:22:11 PM)
Ralph et al, We got a lead on what is causing Elmer to be so sluggish and hog a lot of the CPU time? He seems okay for the small games, but the big boys sure make him crawl. Suggestions? -Jeff

a better CPU seems to be the only solution, more RAM wouldn't hurt either or maybe there's a virus on your comp, why not check

Disable non-essential tasks and background services. De-frag. Clear memory (I use CCleaner). What processor do you use? And what RAM do you have? Mine is P4, 512 Mb of RAM and runs at 4 or 5%. Also clear out the dust from your harddrive, and ensure the fan has a clear airflow. I had a noisy fan for months, inspected to find 1/4 of an inch of duct stuck to my duct (air holes). [:(]

I also like to run ENDITALL to close down unnecessary apps before playing any CPU intensive game.

Using a SATA HDD, religiously defragged via DiskKeeper. No bugs I note - I'm too much the geek to allow that. It worked rather well prior to patching. I'm just concerned...

The next patch should be faster again. by the way, has the game been updated to take advantage of 2 core processors?

We're testing that, and it it works, then I'll work on making the code use hyperthreaded and multiple-core CPUs down the road. There's till a lot I can do about modifying the basic algorithms before I take that step, though, unless I run into some simple cases I can fix.
