new Gridcoin version: 3.5.9.8 IMPORTANT/"Mandatory" for WINDOWS users

in gridcoin •  7 years ago 

Maybe it's just my perception or I never paid attention before but the last few versions of the wallet seem to be eating up a lot more of my processor and memory. Steady 13-17% on the proc and sitting at 590MB or ram. Has it always used this much?

In other news, upgrade via the client to 3.5.9.8 went smoothly.

How much RAM did it have before ?

... and as comparison, the UI version on linux eats 1 GB RAM for me

CPU load:

  • if you don't have much balance, it could perhaps try to always stake a block ?
  • ideally, looking in the !debug.log (in: %appdata%\GridcoinResearch) could tell you more, e.g. about repeating operations

Iirc it used to sit around 300MB. And yeah, my balance is low. I very very rarely see it staking though - pretty much always at Stake 0.00 GRC. Although I might just not understand how it works... =)

debug shows it signing for blocks every 1-2 seconds but not much else. debug2 has it listing contracts in project and whitelist count multiple times per second. debug2 also claimed on startup that I had a Mag of 00, client shows 25 and NN shows 30. /shrug
