Processor Usage in MC 25.108
scottlf:
But when I ran it today it started up with the sorting and the massive processor usage.
I understand that this only lasts for a few minutes -- but it revs up the fans in my computer something fierce, and I can't for the life of me understand why there isn't some way to turn this particular behavior off. It isn't in earlier versions: I've never experienced it before in MC 21. (Which I'm going back to running, since it does what I want without hassles -- which is to play music from my server.)
JimH:
Just let it run. MC builds thumbnails and analyzes audio. Depending on the size of the library, it might take an hour or more.
Under Services in the Tree on the left, look at Reporter to see what is going on.
blgentry:
My collection is rather small for an MC user: Less than 10,000 files.
But I've been using MC since version 20 and have not seen this particular behavior.
You said "I have a very large library on a server".
I'm assuming you mean that your music files are on a NAS of some sort. You have not moved the MC DATABASE files to a NAS have you? That would potentially lead to poor performance.
Brian.
scottlf:
My practice is to connect to a MC server as a client. So presumably the MC that runs on the server should be doing all that sorting, right? But it seems that the client is doing the sorting as well and running up the CPU.
However, MC 21 does *not* do this, even though it connects to precisely the same server.
