CPU on my PC reaching 100%

  1. Check out this thread for reducing CPU usage.
  2. I don’t know how things work under the hood, but it appears that different clients are getting assigned to different cores. But, I guess the real question you’d want to know is what should you look for in a CPU (i.e. core count, cache, frequency, multithreaded performance, single threaded performance)? Unfortunately, I just don’t have the technical expertise to give you any definitive answers. What I can tell you, however, is that I personally tried looking for a CPU that had good multi-threading performance, and a good price to performance ratio. I ended up going with a Ryzen 5 3600 (this was August 2020, so there are probably better options now). Running at stock, it can more than handle 11 accounts, plus comms, plus firefox with 20 tabs open, plus video playing. So, hopefully that will give you a decent frame of reference.
