@Mili:

I was able to reproduce this and have logged it in.
thanks for the detailed report!

Hi,

I’m a new user of PowerArchiver and I’m experiencing this too however I’m not activating any extensions - I performed a clean install on two computers, and both frequently go to 50 - 51% CPU usage. Windows 8 on both machines.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

disable pa starter from starting, it is issue that was solved in last release. Ctrl-alt-del and kill pastarter.exe process.

pastarter was not compatible with win8 so we had to rewrite it completely. You can disable its startup in Options> Configuration> PA Queue.

Thanks, I’ll give that a shot!

High CPU usage with FTPit still present in 13.03.01 and 13.03.02 :(

thank you, we got stuck on 2013 for a while, but now we are good to go.

[iDunk]

The problem is still present in 14.0.17.0.

[iDunk]

Any chance of fixing this in 2013 final?

[spwolf]

aaaaaa!

will check it out this week, final or no final.

Hi!

Sooo, is there a chance of this ever getting fixed? I just tried with 15.0.35 and the same problem is present, as always. FTP it… shell extension maxes out a core. Shame, such a nice little feature but not really usable for large files, mostly for power issues.

Thanks

I will check with team whats going on here.

I have ample CPU, so it does not create a problem for me.

I can verify CPU usage spikes (goes from 1-2% to 25%).

With FileZilla, it never moves my CPU about 2%.

I think, though, that the problem is more general than FTP. Just compressing a folder from the shell jacks my CPU up to almost 25%.

And . . . Compressing a folder from within the PA main window gets the CPU to 29%! Maybe it is the nature of multi-core compression. Not sure.

[spwolf]

there was a specific problem with ftp where cpu would spike with no reason.
For ZIP compression, it is best to use all of the cpu :-)

[iDunk]

Yes, compression will do that to a cpu ;) But we are talking about ftp file transfers here. Something which should not task a cpu so much.

Tested with the newest RC 2015 and putting on the list for the dev team to check out for the next update.
Thanks for bringing it up :)
