Title: Bitcoin-qt 25% CPU and 500MB RAM Post by: lontivero on November 28, 2014, 11:15:05 PM Hi,
I wanted to consolidate all my wallets in one, just to have only one balance (because I has some satoshis here and there) so, I did a wallet backup 328 KBs and restore a 2 year-old wallet that I had with several small transactions and also imported the wallets that I had in my other computers. Finally I imported the backuped wallet's private keys. After that (almost 40 minutes), I had a 8MBs wallet and the bitcoin-qt client started to use 25% CPU and almost 500MBs RAM. After this I restored the 328KBs wallet (it has just a couple of addresses and transactions) and all go back to normal. Is this the expected consumption?

not a problem. when i have restored my january 2014 wallet, i must wait like 2 minutes. all android wallet does the same think (with merkle tree summary). --- decrease cache to 4Mb in bitcoin core help a lot in poor system (2go of RAM) ... but request more reading on disc in node mode.

I know that. The problem is that it was consuming that cpu and memory forever, even after calculate the final balance. |
