Ever since I upgraded to 0.6.2, all of my CPUs have been pinned at 100% usage. Anyone else having similar problems?
Here is a 11 year old Athlon XP 1800+ running 0.6.0:
root@inana:~# ps waxuf | grep bitcoin
bitcoind 27316 0.5 20.5 200604 102428 ? SLsl 05:16 0:35 /usr/local/bin/bitcoind -conf=/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf -pid=/etc/bitcoin/pid -daemon -datadir=/etc/bitcoin/ -noirc
And a modern Celeron G440 running 0.6.2:
root@linuxcoin:/opt/logs# ps waxuf | grep bitcoind
root 27863 0.0 0.0 7740 836 pts/6 S+ 11:59 0:00 \_ grep bitcoind
root 3566 60.0 1.3 222240 106664 ? SLsl 01:44 369:33 /usr/bin/bitcoind -conf=/etc/bitcoin.conf -pid=/var/run/bitcoind.pid -daemon -datadir=/opt/bitram/
root 3567 0.0 0.0 3924 324 ? Ss 01:44 0:00 startpar -f -- bitcoind
Before the upgrade, the Celerons were quite snappy and responsive. Now, it can take several minutes (really!) to run a simple
bitcoind getinfo. And it isn't an I/O problem, the Celerons are totally diskless, running entirely out of RAM, like they have been for the last few months.
