Windows does take a lot of CPU trasferring data on the network.
From what I can see HFS running on XP Pro SP2 takes a lot more CPU than when running HFS on XP Pro SP1 when transfering data on the network. It's hard to do anything else as the CPU remains at 100% until the transfer completes. I didn't experience this type of problem when running HFS on XP Pro SP1. I wonder why that is.
Well I was reluctant to upgrade from Windows XP Pro SP1 to SP2 and when I did it caused more harm than good. I was quite gald to switch back to SP1 and the true is u get the same updates anyway (except updates to fix the broken unfinished code of SP2 perhaps lol.) Conclusion after using both on 2 different Computers and testing to realize the horror stories of people upgrading...XP Pro SP2 is total garbage and doesn't even deserve a beta status (even though it's final that I tested) this is a broken alpha piece-o-crap and I feel for all those who were suckered into it by the ploy of "it has better security" and "how about that built in firewall". Well how about that firewall is it worth the trade off for a cheap integrated firewall with no pro features? All the while it doesn't recognize many Anti-Viruses so the "AV pseudo integration monitor is broken crap. Also now many programs that are well know and used by every day users are also guess what.....that's right they are broken too!!! Do your selves a favor if you have installed the abomination know as SP2 then uninstall it ASAP and be careful when doing so. For those whom haven't installed SP2 yet do yourselves a big favor and save plenty of aspirin or oxycontin (or whatever ususally quiets the pain) :lol: and don't do it. Just say NO to SP2 ! :evil:
I like Win XP Pro SP1 w/ all updates (cept malware scanner for personal reasons :twisted: ) just fine. Btw with SP1 on 1Ghz AMD Athlon Thunderbird and 512MB SDRAM I never went over 46% CPU usage during an upload to myself with multiple browser windows open in IE 6 (fully updated as well).
:lol: Also i had 10 connections to the my server (I do alot of registry/windows tweaks). I also run behind a router at 150 feet away from Wireless Access Point w/ 1 3 foot brick wall blocking and a window and 2 large white pines and HFS v2.0 beta21 runs flawless to the web testing my ping i get 42ms-48ms max (on a bad day 48) with Website Speed Test from here:
http://www.hostpulse.com/hosting/networktools/speedtest.aspbetter than most webhosts service providers listed against me;) My speed from ISP supposed to be 5Mbps down and 512Kbps upload but do to the tweaks I get 1.18Mbps uploads...but only 3.5Mbps down do to the router and the obstructions in my path to wireless. Well alot of this is off topic but I just wanted to finish by saying to Rejetto that he did an awesome job coding this file server and we are all privledged that he was nice enough to share this app with us for free under GPL !
Great job man !!! I hope I can code this well one day
:idea:
Many having problems have broke their Windows or your code or misconfigured one or both lol ! So on with testing I will go...l8rz. Peace all...
