I see 80% CPU usage with 100% usage spikes in PEERanha Beta 6 (with other P2P I see 40% to 50% CPU usage) on my 750Mhz AMD Duron. I have a crapper of a Cable connection (speed tests show it to be 1/3 or less of U.S. national average).

I have tweaked down the settings on PEERanha in an attempt to reduce the load on my system. I noticed there are a huge amount of Queries in the Monitor, I see about 50/Query/sec. (though it really moves to fast to get an accurate count). I was wondering if this is the normal amount for most Gnutella clients, or if this is what is contributing to the heavy processor usage.

Also with PEERanha idling (no uploads, no downloads, no searches) the CPU usage is 10% above my normal offline usage for 10 to 15sec., then spikes to 100% for 5 to 8sec. in a continual cycle.

P.S. I have tons of RAM and MemTurbo.
