auto-refresh performance

[Muroph]

lately xy have been using a lot of cpu power just with auto-refresh.
xy is using about 10% on average when on a watched folder, with peaks of 30%.
if i disable auto-refresh, it drops to 0% instantly.

however, on a fresh install, xy's cpu time is much lower (tested side-by-side with my usual install).
so it must be something related to my settings.
can someone help me find which of them?

Hmmm, this could be related to the recent fix of the "magical auto-refresh suspend"! I would really like to know the conditions for this to happen. Does this happen only on specific folders?

Did anybody else note this?

this happens every time i have some file being modified in a watched folder, and it doesn't seem to be restricted to specific folders.
unfortunately, i deleted al my old xy betas a couple days ago, so i can't test it with on other versions.
well, even if i had them, i don't think i'd have much time to test tham this week.

if it helps, my settings for AR are:
-AR enabled (obviously)
-in network locaitons disabled
-no AR on file operations enabled
-tweak to disable AR on backgroung tabs enabled

-tweak to disable AR on backgroung tabs enabled

Uh, what tweak is that?

-tweak to disable AR on backgroung tabs enabled

Uh, what tweak is that?

Code: Select all

; Tweak: set to 1 to disable auto-refresh on removable drives and non-current folders
DisableSHChangeNotifyRegister=1

Ah! (That's not about background tabs.)

[admin]

I'm not able to reproduce it.

[Muroph]

Ah! (That's not about background tabs.)

i always thought "non-current folders" = folders opened in tabs not currently being displayed = "background tabs".

anyway, i had a bit of free time today , so i looked for an older xy beta in my cds.
i found a 7.60.smth, and got the same results.
all normal on a fresh install, but high cpu usage with my ini.

i'll try to find the guilty setting myself if i get some more free time this week.
i think it could be something related to list style, icons, etc.

Good, I'm glad that's the end of my "magical auto-refresh suspend fix theory".

Try to turn off "Show File Info Tips" -- this has often been the culprit...

[Muroph]

file info tips didn't make any noticeable difference.
but i found the culprit: icon overlays.
average cpu usage went down to about 1% when i disabled it.
the problem is that i really need icon overlays.

Are you using the latest version?? This has been fixed in 7.80...

[Muroph]

yep.
using v7.80.0004 right now.

[admin]

yep.
using v7.80.0004 right now.

And the problem persists?

Any other icon overlay user can confirm this issue?
