P Guardian Excessive Cpu Req

[grey]

Using the latest p guardian (1.96) I notice that it periodically demands upwards of 40% of my 1.0Ghz CPU. This is enough to stop my mouse, tie things up temporarily etc.

No one else is seeing this?

Win2k Pro
Kerio 2.14

I just monitored my Windows Task Manager whilst dl'ing 3 movies and PeerGuardian never rose above 1% CPU usage. Most of the time it was at 0. I didn't register any block attempts in this time, however. Days go by with no blocks so maybe it gets more active then. Have you noticed a correlation?

No correlation to blocks. No correlation to anti-virus software or any other software *except* internet accessing software.

Each piece of software seems to add about 7-10% to peer guardians usage when it hits the net. So, when I check my e-mail, 10%, klite, 10% etc.

Even Kerio (since it loops back on 127.0.0.1) adds to the load. So when I get several of these programs going and each hitting the net at different times to do whatever, pguardian demands more and more.

So sometimes it is 0 and oters 7%-40%.

There may be overlapping entries in the list, like 2 that read like this:
blocked:199.0.0.0-201.255.255.255
blocked:200.0.0.0-200.255.255.255

There may also be backwards entries like:
blocked:200.0.0.0-199.0.0.0

BOTH can cause extra cpu drain.

That was it. Overlapping entries.

Thanks!
