I've got a P-II 233, with IDE disk drives, and fortunately a 3COM Co-processed LAN card (does IP on the card and not on the CPU).... My CPU utilization is 0-6% while downloading with Limewire....


HOWEVER, I do notice that javaw.exe is sucking up more than 43MBs of ram, making CPU to memory searches painful, at best. I think the Limewire folks need to dump the JRE and alternative java engines for support if they want their app to remain consistantly stable and consistantly performing.


I'm not ponying up my 10 or 100 bucks without a decent rewrite of this application.

Hey there LimeWire Developers... I think I speak for a lot of us here... Get a few more hot shot coders to address these issues, and we WILL part with our wallets.
