QtPlasmaC Jogging Lag

That's good info. That may make it easier to figure out.

When I get home I will run the latest version on my table and see if I see the same thing.

I will say that I've been simulating 1.0.76 a lot on a VM (with the to-be 1.0.77 changes applied), and I didn't see these issues. Again, not to say they don't exist. Just odd that QTVCP seems to go bezerk for sometimes for people, but not always for everyone.

Not sure if it matters or not, but do you see this issue immediately from startup? Or do you use theGUI for any length of time before the CPU pegs at 100%? What I am getting at, is - is there a certain thing that you do that afterward it pegs the CPU?

I’m headed home from work I’ll check my machine when I get there (about an hour).  It shouldn’t really matter, but it can’t hurt either, can you post a backup of your config created from the parameters tab?  

Just updated to 1.0.79, and I dont experience any lagginess.  Below is a screenshot of top.

I would say it's definitely because your CPU is pegged (obviously) but I wonder what causes that.  

It makes me wonder if there is something wrong with your qtvcp installation, or some conflict going on.  I will say that of the 4 people I know of that experience lagginess, 3 of them run Mint.  Not saying it's the issue, and correlation does not equal causation, but still it may not be a coincidence.

 

oops, I meant to screenshot the entire screen:

Have a look at how roundabouts get saturated with cars and how little it takes to go from 40Kmh to 3Kmh by adding just one car !
Must be the same thing here as Mate uses more resources so adding QtVCP makes it go to 3Kmh !
I have 2 of the same PC (actually 3 but one is 4KM far), namely the HP 8300 SFF that PCW mentions often here, and they all had 8GB of RAM till one of the modules decided to give up the ghosts, never noticed the lag before.
Unfortunately never had the time to add the new module in and check if that improves things, not sure when will i have the time as my sister is having trouble breathing last two days, so who knows .....

Nice analogy Tom  . I hope your sister gets well soon.

I have pushed a change to slow down the flash rate which eases up on the cpu usage.

I don't know why Bryans runs at 100%. I made a sim from the posted config and it runs on my development VM at 10% with the update.

P.S. Did I mention that I HATE this forum editor, it is a right royal PITA.

Too many cars in the round about, got it

Positive thoughts for your sister to breathe easy again soon!
