100% CPU Usage

[wanghaoqd]

Hi,
I was planning to build up a mining pool. So I compiled zcoind from source on my VPS (Ubuntu 14.04 64bit).
The zcoind keep running at 100% CPU utilization while syncing. After 3 days it finally finished synchronization, but the CPU usage remains 100%.
I've checked the .conf file, and confirmed it was not mining.
Then I tried the windows Qt wallet on another VPS which has a Windows Server 2012 system. The situation was the same: slow synchronization and 1 CPU core always full-loaded.
On therse 2 servers I've tried 0.2.0, 0.2.1, 0.8.7.6, all has this problem.

But on another vm which has Windows 7 SP1 64bit OS, the CPU usage is fine, always below 5%.
What may be the problem? Any suggestions?

My pool is running now, found 1 block but the CPU usage is still 100%.

My network has a problem. Is there a manual or instruction to build POOL?

Could you test this with the new core?

OK. I'll try the new version and report back.

Upgrading to the new version 0.13.2.4 did fixed this issue. Thanks!

In some cases (unfortunately many), the processors in Windows 10 show 100% usage.
From what I understand the problem grows according to the number of GPUs.
Windows 10 overloads processors that have few flames when GPUs are more than the threads.

I found some tweaks for windows 10 and achieve more than 50% less CPU usage.

New CPU Usage: 45%

Just let me know about your results.

Have a nice mining!
