Is anyone else having this problem? It seems that when the program is running javaw.exe is running at about 75% of CPU. Awfully high.

I'm running a 2GHz Centrino with 1gb of ram if it matters. No other applications are running the background and no clients are connected right now either.

Thanks

Something is wrong. I'm using a laptop with a 1.4 GHz Centrino proc and 500 MB ram and my CPU is at about 5% with the timer running. Javaw is hardly touching resources. 0% CPU and 40,000K memory.

Any clue where to look?

I ran a test with the server and two consoles all displaying on one computer over 3 hours. Each of the processes hangs out at around 35MB. CPU stays around 5-10%. And this was with the results scroll animation going.

I've got a Pentium4 running XP Professional.

Ok.. Maybe I had some crazy runaway process going.. Oh well. Must be me.

Thanks

Ok.. So here's the deal. I have no resource problems UNTIL I select the box "Main Console Visible on this computer".

The the CPU usage for Javaw.exe jumps to between 50-75% .. No clue why. As soon as I uncheck the box, it drops down to 0.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

OK.. So I think it has something to do with the resolution of the screen. I run my laptop at 1900x1200 and the CPU usage is as above with this. I lowered it down to 1280x768 (something around there) and the CPU hovered between 35-48%.

Better, which leads me to believe it's a resolution problem.

Any clue what would be causing this?

Thanks

Does your laptop share its main memory with the graphics system memory (which some do)? If that is the case I bet at 1900X1200 you are running out of video RAM and it is having to rely on system RAM and maybe the CPU is having to do some management of it.....

I believe the video card has it's own memory. Weird thing happened today. Ran fine for 4 hours today and all of a sudden it started to slow down, nothing changed really but the resources just shot way up.

Is no one else having this problem at all?

I used it today for 5 hours and had no problems. It was only an 8 person game with one table, but everything ran smoothly.

I've noticed similar resource issues. Last tourney, TM was running fine, I always make sure to exit any other apps as I know my laptop is older and not resource intesive in the first place. Anyways, four or so hours into the tourney, I'm noticing that every player I eliminate, it is taking the TM a bit longer to return to the console screen. The player selection boxes show up pretty quick, but upon clicking on the 'Player Y will be eliminated by Player X" confirmation, the console freezes, as does the remote console I was running. At first it was like 30 seconds, but later as we were left with 3 people, it took like 10 minutes to get the console back. Eventually I noticed that although I had eliminated everybody, and they showed eliminated in the player tab, TM had not yet prompted me that "the tourney is over" after eliminating the number 2 player. The event log also didn't show that I'd eliminated #3 or #2 even though the player tab did.

I had to shut down the TM and restart, then re-eliminate the #2, finally it told me 'tournament is over', etc.

The version just posted to drneau.com/TournamentManager.zip has a fix that should help you jalsing. There was an issue with client/server mode where I wasn't clearing out the pipe between the client and server regularly. As a result, the apps would grow and grow and grow. This may have been what you were seeing.
