Great work on the miner.

I know CPU usage is an issue...but I'm running the latest version and my CPU usage is around 90% at all times.  Is this still normal?


Also, is there a way to configure the start.bat file so the miner will mine from 2 or more different pools?  Designate some cards to 1 pool and the remainder to another?  Or do you have to open 2 instances of the miner with 2 different start files?  I'm pretty sure my CPU couldn't handle that..LOL

How much of it does zm consume?

Yes, you have to open 2 instances.

With the miner running my CPU usage is 88%.  The main draws are: system=37%  CMD processor 29%  System Interrupts 17%

With the miner off my CPU usage is 6-8%

Using EWBF my system interrupts are around 4% and total CPU usage is around 50%

Had the same issue with CPU usage, in my case it was msi afterburner causing it. Removed, rebooted and installed a fresh version sorted it for me. Well CPU still at ~20% but that's ok 😀
