Subj : High CPU usage in sbbsNTsvcs To : All From : Afsfigueiredo Date : Fri Apr 09 2021 07:48:45 Hi ! I've installed Synchronet 3.18 , and configured the FidoNet using Binkt . Every time an event happens, the SBBS Services consumes more than 50% of the system CPU ( i've even used a last-gen Core i7 as host, and the issue persist ), now the VM is running on its official host a Dual Xeon 5460 based server ( should be more than enough ) , the VM is set for 4 vCPU and 4GB of memory. I've tried using Windows XT, Windows 2003, Windows 2008 and now Windows 2012R2 all had the same behavior, when it start a Binkt event it uses almost all CPU available after finishing the exchange process. Using the Process Explorer i see that the sbbsNTsvcs appears to be in some kind of loop , on the Microsoft C Runtime Start Address ucrtbase.DLL!_crt_at_quick_exit+0x20 ( this "loop" is using the 50+ cpu resources according the process explorer ) Restarting the comm services solves the problem until the next event get into place. Have anyone seen this kind of behavior ? or have any tips where i can research/fix this issue ?
