Hey all,
On my brothers eMac 1ghz with 640MB ram running 10.3.9 I am using azureus to download a 3GB file. I noticed my computer was a little slow and I noticed once I oppened azureus my CPU is at 100%(most of the time) azaureus is at about 75% CPU mostly the "nice" cycles but it sometimes fluctuates and my CPu goes between 80% and 100%. Azureus has also taken up all my ram after a fresh restart and then after a while about 50% of my ram goes to the "inactive" status while it was green or "free" before starting azureus. Is this normal??? Is it such a resource hog?
