I have a fairly new pc running dual core 2.2Ghz, 4 GB ram, shitty graphics card not sure what type.

Anyways, slowly the hud is using more and more system resources. Sometimes it spikes to over 30% cpu usage and maybe more i dont watch it too much, but when i have it open i lag alot. I run a few different poker sites at the same time, ie ftp ps ap.

any advice? hud works fine besides that and i have the newest beta version

'Fairly new pc' how long since you maintained the database ?

See 'Opacity' section in this link - you want to avoid opacity if you can & also avoid multiple (split) HUD panels

I have similar problems with the hud (slowness). My computer is a beast (I7 2.7 Quad core, 12 GB DDR3 in Triple channel, Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX+ with 1GB DDR3 and if I open up 4 tables at a time it lags ridiculously.

I run the latest drivers on Windows 7.

Removing the opacity seems to have helped the problem.

Again there must be a little glitch in the software. Im running 5-6 tables nad it gets slow as fuck, however I still have 8 GB of memory FREE and I have 3 cores at 0%, and one at 1-2%.

Yes I've tweaked the affinity for the HEM processes so that it uses all 4 cores.

Did you try all the FAQs Loki linked to?
Maybe we could do a teamviewer session to see if i can spot anything obvious you might not have noticed as it shouldnt be lagging on that many tables especially with your specs

I already tried everything there is to try. I've vaccummed my DB, reindexed it, everything is clean, antivirus is offlimits on the HEM directories (including auto import ones), and it's still lagging on 4 tables with HUD on (opacity off.)

There is absolutely no way HEM is out of resources since I'm monitoring those and RAM is not taken (more than 8GB free), I have no page file, and I'm running an Intel X25 SSD as my main drive. Seriously if it's lagging on my machine there's something wrong with the code.

These are free & very good - maybe they will help you diagnose ?

I have a monitoring CPU/RAM/Load program running and I can easily see when the load/ram is high. If I kill the HUD everything works fine. I pop it up again (on 4 tables) everything gets slow.

I only started experincing this with the latest update (the 1.10.06a)

Please try disabling live-tracking and prefetch under site options for FTP/stars.

Hey so I vacuum analyzed the db, that didnt really help. Today I tried disabling the options that netsrak instructed. I am going to give that a whirl, if not morny I will gladly accept a TV session diagnosis.

As of right now cpu usage hasnt been spiking (been watching for 5m tho) and seems to be hovering over 2% (i had been seeing spikes up to 50%!)

FWIW my FT site options were all disabled and pstars had only prefetch one hand up. Not sure what those options do however, but i disabled them all.


Thanks for all the replies guys
