CPU Usage

Hello,
Just installed 1.9.1, build 989 and it seems as though CPU usage is constantly around 9% to 11%. WD uses almost nothing.
Is this normal?
What is Cumulus doing?
I have disabled wind gauge animation and at this time all ftp activity is disabled.
Many thanks!
Al

What is Cumulus doing?
Most of the time, it's in the Davis DLL.
On the low-spec system that I run it on (with a VP2) it uses between zero and 5%, with the wind gauge animation disabled. On my higher spec system, with a non-Davis station, it sits at zero most of the time, occasionally registering 1%.
What spec is your system? Do you have a USB, serial, or IP connection to your VP2? What problems are you seeing as a result of the CPU usage?

Hi,
Here same issue only a CPU load of more the 45% sinds i have update the old version to 1.9.1 with the wind gauge animation disabled.
I use at this moment a David Vue in combinatie with Virtual VP on a Windows XP machine.
I see in Virtual VP that the serial connection is not realy used by cumulus (one time a 10 or 15 sec), so where can be the problem of this high load?
I like to hear it.
Grtz,

Hi,
Here same issue, i have sinds this week update the old cumulus software (from 1.8.9 to 1.9.1) and have the same cpu load problems.
At this moment i have the next configuration:
- Davis Vue
- Virtual VP for Cumulus and Weatherlink
- Windows XP PC
And a CPU Load of 45 to 55% for only Cumulus.
I have disable the animation but with no result so wat can i do to it to solve the problem.
(is it possible to download the old software for the time )
I like to heat it.
Grtz,

When you install Cumulus, it shows you the readme.txt file and asks you to PLEASE read all of it. It contains important information. You can find a copy in the Cumulus installation folder.
