Azureus 100% CPU utilization 10.5 bug?
Posted: Nov 18, 2007 8:54 AM

10.5 , bug , cpu

I am using Mac OS X.5.1 (latest Mac OS)
on an iMac G5 (1.8GHz with 2Gb RAM)
Azureus 3.0.3.4
Java J2SE 1.5

When I start Azureus, my CPU activity cranks to 100% within a few seconds. In Activity Monitor I see "mds" and "mdsworker" grabbing a lot of that activity (typically 60-80%). I checked online Mac forums and discovered (hopefully it's correct info) that "mds" is related to the Spotlight function. I opened the Spotlight System Preference panel and excluded the System, Library, and Azureus Download folders hoping to stop Spotlight from ramping up CPU usage during Azureus use. It has been several days but I still get 100% CPU utilization when I use Azureus (no other application causes this "mds" grab of CPU).

I really like Azureus. I even donated to the project. But I am using Transmission until someone can address this issue.

Thanks

well, since this seems to be a problem external to azureus i suggest you try to find out which files spotlight is indexing, e.g. you could check the open file handles with the lsof command (assuming osx has that too). Azureus is obviously rather heavy when it comes to disk access with all the randomized downloading, log files etc... so it could be a misconfiguration in spotlight that is only exposed when Az is active.

It's all the UI stuff in azureus that hogs the CPU in MacOS X.

Try closing some tabs, or better yet close the Azureus window entirely and watch you CPU usage drop.

Mine went from 106% to 12% on my Dual G5.

I found this thread over at Apple's forums (running the same forum software, incidentally).

There are mentions of high CPU usage throughout, some attributed to being only during Azureus running.

See the options mentioned there. Try a few. Except disabling syslogd - that doesn't seem sensible

My favourites were:
-"Go into /Applications/Utilities and open Console.app. This program lets you read all of the log files on your computer. Browse through the logs until you find one that seems to be massive and has thousands of repeated messages in it. Those messages, whatever they are, will lead you to the offending application."
-"turning off Firewall Logging in Security"
-"disabling Back to My Mac"

Worth a try?

I'm a first time forum user. Hope this gets out there.

I have been downloading music and movies now for some time from Vuze Plus. Foolishly, I deleted nothing and now have over 50 downloads seeding. I feel that's the reason for 100% CPU Usage in Azereous which has my computer so blocked up I can't even delete anything. I tried deleting one at a time as well as deleting my whole library at one time. Nothing happens. I tried removing the program at "add/remove programs" on the control panel, and then reinstalled using my activation code. Same library and same problem came back. Once Azereous comes up, the computer is entirely frozen. Only way out is to hit "end process" in Task Manager.

Is there a simple way to clear my library for a beginner like me??

Thanks,

Roy
