version 5.0.5.259 general discussion:

[Cutter]

Thought it be good to have a thread we can chat about the new version.

Well for me, a scary start, installed fine, big update well big for swd, went well, did my scan opened task manager and it locked up, locked everything else up, manually turned my comp off something I hate doing, but now seems alright, cpu usage still high during my now second attempt at a scan, it’s nearly finished my last scan was 4min 55sec so lets see how this compares with the old version with no real changes to my system.

Just finished 6min 59seconds, so noticeably slower scan or is it, maybe it’s just doing a more in-depth scan which has made me worry was the last version any good and is this one really any good over 1min extra scan time is hell of alot

It seems lot more sluggish than the last version.

Not knowing enough is starting to make me worry, scan interface looks nice mind lol.

Hi
I tried the new version...Cant stand it...STILL TOO MUCH (VIRTUAL) MEMORY USED!
The probable reason for why your scan is taking longer is that CPU usage is turned down by default so it interferes less.
Try changing that under Scan Settings.

Nice one didn’t see that there, it's so sluggish, I don't think I can put up with this if I’m honest really really sluggish, although just finished third scan and 5min 3 seconds which is alot better, but wow is it slow looking through the program and lifting it of the task bar, makes everything else slow.

IS the compatibility mode checked by default on the new version?
i installed it 2 times and this option are previously checked and when i unchecked it the program ask for reboot

Cutter, when you say that it's sluggish, do you mean that it's sluggish while it's scanning and your multitasking or are you saying that, by it just running in the background it's causing your system to be sluggish?

it's not checked by default

i really like the new version, it compleatly elemenates the slowdown i was experiencing in safari & a svchost (readyboost, superfetch, networking ect.) which was constantly hogging my CPU

If I’m scanning and multitasking it's really sluggish but to be fair I’d expect that, if I just leave it in the background web searching is fine, but if I open ms word, or try to play some music opening what ever program it is takes about 3 to 6 seconds, that's alot longer than normal, I’m going to do a fresh install of xp in a few days so maybe everything will be sorted out by then.

The interface it’s self is also very sluggish, switching between tabs can make some parts vanish for a few seconds.

I guess that if you run a scan and try to do other tasks this will slow down your comp and thats only natural and probably cant be avoided. Especially opening and closing programs or listening to music.

Hey Chippa good to see you about,

I see where your coming from, feels slower than the last version that's all, but i'll do a fresh install if none else says they notice the same thing maybe that will sort it's self out, i know a few programs don't like to have fresh installs over the top, so a new install of xp may help.

So maybe it's better to stick to the .205 for now?..
I'm not into anything slowing down my system.
