Comment 3 for bug 114320

I can confirm this. I'm using 9.3 on Feisty Fawn. The usage spikes as soon as I add torrents, and seems to randomly tapers off after that, only to spike again.

As a matter of fact, it's driving the CPU usage to 100% _most_ of the time. Since it's an older system, I had to set the 'nice' value to very low priority to keep the system responsive.

I have been using qBittorrent since ~8.6, and this is the first time it (mis)behaves like that. I will have to look into reverting to an older version or a different client pretty soon, the slowdown on my system is rather bothersome.
