Hi, this may sound a silly question, but can you get EU to split across the CPU affinities ? In lehmanns terms, use all the cores.
I have a dual core turion 64 2GHZ laptop and EU only uses the 1st core, meaning it's actually slower (CPU Speed) than my 3 year old 2.6GHz laptop. Thing is, I use it as the other laptop has a poor CPU.
Are you able to make EU use all cores simutaneously ??
Check page 4 of this discussion, hope it helps.
The problem you have is that EU will just run on a single CPU core to start with. Do this test, open up Task Manager, on the Entropia.exe process right click and select "Set Affinity ...". If gives a dialog to select which processors to run that process on. Don't select or deselect anything, and but just hit ok. Have a look at your processor utilisation now... It should be more evenly spread. On mine its about 70% on the first processor and 20-30 on the second and little bits and pieces on the other two.
I run a 2 Dual Cores (so 4 processors), if setting the affinity to only CPU 0, and 1, I get about 60% utilisation on both. It's something to play around with to see if you get different results, and if/how it affect the game.
And from what I can tell EU runs on 11 threads.
