comodo's cpu usage is very high

Comodo CPU usage for me 0-2% The 2% I think is when Im getting Attacked and blasted LOL
After looking at your setup I think you are right to say what you just said especially for yourself. In this day and age I'm used to having 1GIG or more of RAM on any computer I work on and yes for myself such low CPU usage and memory usage of any program as long as its good shouldnt be a factor cause if it is, then some MAJOR upgrading is in order unless you lack $$$$ but hey who wants to keep playing in the Stone Age? Definitely not me !
Side note: thats funny you OC your cpu to 3.3G and yet you have only 512MB of RAM ? LOL I just dont get it¿
I just wonder if that 512MB of RAM you got matches that so called over clocked c331? AHEM............

 

OC my cpu is just a test. I think its ok. It makes my room warm. im cold.

If there're about 150M free physical memory, 512m RAM is enogh.

 

I can get Comodo up to 10% or more of CPU time by opening 25 tabs simultaneously in Firefox 2.0 using Proxomitron (sidki filterset).

This is on WinXP with Opteron 2.4GHz (dual core) and 2GB of RAM + fast disks (SYSROOT and pagefile on separate physical disks).

This is under a no-attack scenario.

All the features in Comodo that have a warning "may slow down system" are turned OFF.

I could NEVER get Look'n'Stop above 2% whatever I did, even under much heavier scenarios (40+ tabs, 750 half open TCP in BT, streaming audio, news, email, etc.)

So yes, Comodo does take quite a lot of horsepower to do its tasks. Considerably more so than the fastest competition does.

However, for what it does, it's still a very decent compromise in features vs speed, IMHO.

But of course, I wished it was more efficient and used less CPU resources
