If you get a chance to try it out could you let me know if you're still having performance issues?

If you are, please let me know if the CPU usage is high right after starting DisplayFusion, or if it creeps up over time. Also let me know if you're running WindowBlinds or Bins as well.

Thanks! ]]> RE: pro v3.4.1 beta 10: CPU spikes - machine unresponsive https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pro-v341-beta-10-cpu-spikes-machine-unresponsive/?ID=d3ef26c8-7ddd-472a-a9a7-4af4d21c178b#24 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:13:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pro-v341-beta-10-cpu-spikes-machine-unresponsive/?ID=d3ef26c8-7ddd-472a-a9a7-4af4d21c178b#24 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion 3.5 Beta 2 is now available for download here: http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

It will hopefully resolve any performance or stability issues, but if not, please do the following to help us troubleshoot it further:
  • On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "Logging: All Lines"
  • In the Advanced Settings, enable the "General: Advanced Debug Logging" option (note that if you already had the options in steps #1 and #2 enabled, please disable them to see if the performance issues still exist. If they do, turn them back on and proceed to step #3)
  • During, or after the issue occurs, send me the info from the Troubleshooting tab, as well as the DisplayFusion.log file (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
  • You can turn off the options from steps #1 and #2 after sending the info in step #3.

We are continuing to work on the high CPU issues, and we're also going to be adding some new metrics and extra information to the debug logging for the next beta. I'll be sure to let you know as soon as it's available to try out.

Thanks! ]]> RE: pro v3.4.1 beta 10: CPU spikes - machine unresponsive https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pro-v341-beta-10-cpu-spikes-machine-unresponsive/?ID=d3ef26c8-7ddd-472a-a9a7-4af4d21c178b#22 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:39:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pro-v341-beta-10-cpu-spikes-machine-unresponsive/?ID=d3ef26c8-7ddd-472a-a9a7-4af4d21c178b#22 DisplayFusion I just posted on a different topic and I saw this one more similar to my problem. I have had the same problem with 15-20 percent spikes and it makes file browsing and application responses measurable, forcing me to end the displayfusion process. Also, even if I have no window open on the second monitor, DF keeps running 3-6 percent cpu (I guess because of the tray, and background images).
I am running 3.5.0 b1 and I have seen the same problem on 3.4 versions.

I hope we can solve this, since I am running out of patience. ]]> RE: pro v3.4.1 beta 10: CPU spikes - machine unresponsive https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pro-v341-beta-10-cpu-spikes-machine-unresponsive/?ID=d3ef26c8-7ddd-472a-a9a7-4af4d21c178b#21 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:11:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/pro-v341-beta-10-cpu-spikes-machine-unresponsive/?ID=d3ef26c8-7ddd-472a-a9a7-4af4d21c178b#21 DisplayFusion Just wanted to let people know: I had v3.4.0, upgraded to v3.4.1 and noticed high CPU usage (~40%-50%).

Its really quite disturbing that it can take up so much CPU usage, compared to memory usage it only uses around 17Mb.

And I'm using a crappy core 2 duo work computer.
