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!!
I also run Bitcoin, Gomez Peer and BONIC ( World Community Grid ) on 2 of my older XP machines. However, they are duel core, So I set Bitcoin to use just 1 Core and BONIC to use 50% resources. I rarely hit 100% CPU usage for both cores, even with additional application usage.
You should try to find a good balance between CPU usage, productivity, charity and economics.
