I upgraded to the new 1.6 SpyBot. TeaTimer has between 40-60% usages for over 2 mins straight at times. Its annoying.
Also TeaTimer is using 47,904k of memory and I have nothing in the black and white list.

Anyone else exp this??

I did 3 tests. On startup it takes 2 mins and 25 secs for TeaTimer to calm down. It was running between 40-60% CPU usage the entire time.
When I open IE, CPU spikes to 40-60% for 40 secs. Every so often TeaTimer will go at it again. Memory usage is always around 47,900k.

Steven C:

It's scanning all the processes in your system and checking them against a blacklist of over 150,000 processes (run your cursor over the TeaTimer system tray icon). If you are running the latest version of TeaTimer (1.6.2.23), it builds a Cache file (ProcCache.sbc) so that subsequent scans when TeaTimer starts use less CPU time except the first time is starts after an update.
