    Default TeaTimer causing 50%+ usages!!

    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.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
