I upgraded from 2.6.2 to 2.9.6, and immediately noticed the increased CPU load: ‘WMI Provider Host’ hogs from 20% to 30% and ‘remoteit’ adds about 7-10% more regardless of the number of connections. In total, every time I started v2.9.6 the CPU load soared by 30-35%, so I had to go back to v2.6.2 again.
For comparison, v2.6.2 has ‘WMI Provider Host’ at 0% and ‘remotit’ at 3-5%.
Hi Gary, thank you for following up. Yes, I’ve tried 2.10.0 or 2.10.1 - lots of new bells and whistles but unfortunately it was not very stable (all my remotes got disconnected too often), so I returned to 2.6.2 again. I am OK with it as far as it keeps working. Probably, will try some new release again later.
Hi Gary, I have tried again to upgrade from 2.6.2 to 3.0.2, and it works seamlessly now! I am very impressed by the enhancements; a special “thank you” for the idle connections feature - that is exactly what I was waiting for! I work with several sites every day, some of them are connected via SSH tunnels. With the old version, I had to manually reconnect every time I started my laptop; with 3.02 the configured connections just stay idle until I activate an SSH terminal.
