I have posted this, in German, in the German Wasserkühlung (watercooling) forum:


For God's sake Sebastian.

Focus on small areas of AS to fix, one at a time, and release incremental fixes, making sure that all of the bugs in each small area are really gone. Then move on to the next small part of AS, and fix it carefully, without screwing up what has already been fixed.

You are trying to do too much by trying to fix all the problems at once, as well as introduce new features and performance enhancements.

We don't really need any new features at this point, just a release of AS that works well, has no bugs, and dosen't hog RAM and CPU.

It is still hogging RAM and CPU by the way, just much slower than before, but still doing it.

Sebastian (and everyone at Aquacomputer), I apologize. The new, very latest, release of AS 2013 is working without any apparent memory or CPU hogging. Or, if there is a problem, it is now very minor and not an issue.

Again, please accept my apology. It looks like the newest release of AS 2013 is the best release of all the AS 2012 and 2013 yet.

Little update:

After leaving the latest build of AS 2013 running overnight, about 12 hours, there was very little memory usage. In fact there was much less memory usage than when I first started AS 2013! That seems okay now.

With AS 2013 and little else (the usual Windows services, etc.) running overnight, the whole, total, computer was using about 30% of the processor by the end of the 12 hours, reported by the Win Performance Monitor. When AS 2013 was first started last night, the whole computer's total CPU usage was only about 7% to 10% of the processor. So there is obviously a bit of something still going on with the CPU usage. However, it is greatly improved over the previous version, which consumed so much CPU and RAM that the computer would lock up after about 6 to 8 hours of run time. And the increase in CPU usage last night was clearly by AS 2013. It was shown clearly by the Windows Performance Monitor as being used by AS 2013. Upon closing AS 2013, the total CPU utilization dropped from above 30% down to about 7% to 10%.

The overview page that was left on display overnight was pretty simple: It has only two gauges total, and both of these show on the desktop. There is one for the GPU temperature, and one for the coolant temperature. If the number of display elements that AS 2013 shows has an influence on the CPU consumption, then my overview page should not have caused much.

For what it may be worth, right now I am monitoring my computer's usage of resources with Open Hardware Monitor, Beta 0.5.1, and without AS 2013 running something else is eating up RAM by the bucket full. Normal usage with the same programs open is around 1.75 GB to 2.2 GB. It is right around 4.2 GB now. I'll look into the cause and report back. Also, when AS 2013 is restarted now, Resource Monitor shows that it only uses between 0% and 1%(!!!) of the CPU.
