Minimum Requirement for Stratum?

[Hellcat]

Is there any sort of minimum requirement for running the Stratum Proxy?

I'm currently using an old Via Epia C7 (Esther) @ 1ghz with 1Gb DDR2 and a 60Gb SSD, with XP (ahci not supported.. too old ). It is running stratum (for 2x V2 blades) and bitminter (currently only one BE since it freaks out as soon as I plug in more than one). It really seems to struggle with pretty much everything.

In theory that setup is good enough for slush's proxy.  You're probably bogged down by XP.:

If cgminer and slush's proxy will run on a beaglebone or pi...  ill bet you have better luck if you try a Linux build.

Thanks for the input. Could it be the reason why the blades aren't hashing at full capacity?
I'll try to turn off some services that aren't needed, and if it doesn't get better I guess I need to switch to linux.

The Esther cpu is pretty slow and I think the rpi might be a tad quicker...

Edit: Hmm.. some process was hogging everything. I'm trying one blade and cpu usage is between 60-80%. Esther CPU is operating at 1.3Ghz now. It's still pretty high. Will see what happens when I try to use both blades.

Edit2: Seems that Zonealarm Firewall + AV was bugged and slowing everything down. Cpu usage is still high but both blades seem to be hashing at full speed now
