I've been playing at 32Red for years on this laptop, without any problems. But over the last 6 months or so, it's got more and more power hungry.
As soon as I open the client my CPU usage goes straight up to 100% and the fan kicks in.
My computer became even more sluggish today, and kept saying it had stopped responding. So I checked the resource monitor, only to find the JUST the lobby is running 2 processes one of 35% processor time and the other of 39%. That's 74% of a fairly good dual-core intel processor just to run the lobby, WITHOUT any games or other windows open.
And they wonder why everyone's moving to browser-based multi-platform sites
