mscorsvw killing performance
« on: February 13, 2014, 03:33:26 PM »
I've got time to time significant FPS drops...

Now when I exited AH I discovered that mscorsvw.exe eats all the CPU

According to this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/davidnotario/archive/2005/04/27/412838.aspx you can stop it with nget but cmd says it isn't found...

Any idea how to get rid of it? (let .net compile stuff on demand)

OS: Win 7 Pro 64bit SP 1

I avoid having anything to do with .NET, so this is a new one for me.

Good wish... but my Windows PC isn't for gaming purposes only (also mostly for gaming as my primary boot is Linux) and I still run on it MSVC and other stuff on Windows.

The link you posted had some workarounds as update notes in the bottom. They were quite old, though, dated from 2005. The next article I found : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2013/08/06/wondering-why-mscorsvw-exe-has-high-cpu-usage-you-can-speed-it-up.aspx has some newer approaches and extra information for those of us who need the .NET. I need it primarily for Paint.NET. Now if I only could figure out which programs need the oldest versions, I seem to have four of them installed. Well, Win7 is waiting to be installed, so I guess a couple of versions will go to grave with XP.
