Push2Run 2.2 very high CPU usage

[jasoncollege24]

Got the chance to test it over the last 2 days. Worked fine, until this morning. Removing the garbage collection was probably a good idea, as it doesn't make the RAM usage go up very much at all. But... this morning, I found it eating as much CPU as it could again. I didn't have time to troubleshoot as i was in a hurry, so i terminated it. I'll run it again, wait for the crash, and then troubleshoot again for you.

Don't think it's the garbage collection now, but considering how it treats RAM, you should be good keeping that collection code out. I'll let ya know what I find on next crash

Maybe when it's in a hanging state you could see what things are in use using this program or similar ?

You could maybe alias it with a single cpu thread to make your machine responsive so it could run.

It's not hung for me since those 2 times.

Weird thing is I'm not 100% sure it's actually hanging. I haven't actually tested whether it accepts google commands, while in this state.

I grabbed process monitor. what I'll do is next time it happens, I'll use task manager to change it's affinity to a single core, restoring responsiveness. (I don't do this at the start, cuz I need to see the CPU spike to know it's crashing), then I'll use process monitor to get whatever info I can about P2R, and what it's doing.

Ok - I am using the new 2.3 Version and I have it in a hung state right now.

After the machine was idle overnight, it's now eating up as much cpu as it can get.

I have made it go to 1 cpu core only, and set it's priority to minimum (Low).

The machine is responsive now as it is only using 11 % cpu and 51 k of ram.

I'll play with a few programs and see if I can see anything.

Win 7, all updates

Jason - Do you use a program called " Clover " ?

[jasoncollege24]

no, but I do use a program called Process Lasso. It's one of the several programs affected by P2R's crashing. (It's one of the apps who's CPU jumps up to max, on relevant crashes.)

[Warrior]

Hmmm - On my Win 7 machine, P2R doesn't 'crash' as such, it just chews cpu by itself/. Other programs are unaffected.

[jasoncollege24]

It's weird that it sometimes does that. Not at all sure why it would happen that way. On those crashes, P2R takes up little, or no CPU, but killing it always restores my system to normal. Getting more info on those particular crashes might be difficult, because limiting P2R in those cases probably won't help... Doesn't mean I won't try.

[jasoncollege24]

Speaking of that particular crash, I just experienced it again... (the one where everything goes haywire, and apps fight for CPU)

The following apps were affected, and were fighting over CPU time, pushing my CPU to max:

Comodo Internet Security
Google Chrome
Discord
Steam
Windows explorer (explorer.exe)
DisplayFusion
Process Lasso
Process Monitor (May have been due to profiling?)

P2R was using 0 CPU, and was actively accepting pushes (This was tested by telling google to open calculator, which it did). Terminating P2R from task manager immediately returned my system to normal, which is an average of less than 10% CPU.

Considering what I was testing with ProcessMonitor, (which was everything since everything was eating CPU) the generated log file is over 1GB in size. Not sure how to transfer that to you.
