It will always use max CPU to generate but the generating thread is scheduled at a low priority so it should yield to other processes. I can compile code and do other things on my windows machine with 0.3 running and it doesn’t seem to slow it down for me at least.
thanks for the quick answer
i have bitcoin running, gomez peer and BOINC. there is definitely a major slow down. if i have bitcoin running, and click on gomez icon, it takes a good 30+seconds to open. should be instantaneous!!
