OK, I have no idea if that kernel behaves any differently.

I think that option was (at least in early versions) there in vanilla
dc++ also (that's pretty much the reason why it's there in linuxdcpp).
Also true that you really can't break anything with that, but most users
want their shares hashed as fast as possible, so that makes it a bit of
an expert option.

But hashing should not cause your Core2Duo to slow to a crawl unless 1)
there's the swapping problem (check with free or top if swapping occurs
while hashing), 2) You have a problem with DMA (it isn't enabled) 3) you
have a blazing fast disks (which I doubt since you were running on a
notebook). Those are the most common culprits that I could think of, but
of course there's always a possibility that there's some bug hiding
somewhere and in that case we'd need to figure out how to reproduce it
(or a patch fixing it is always welcome ;)

[1.1.0-0ubuntu1~bzr341] Nearly hangs even modern computer while indexing large file

Status in Linux DC++: Incomplete

Bug description:
LinuxDC++ indexing is too agressive. When it indexes a large file on my Core2Duo notebook all other program nearly stop to response, sound (Audacious) starts to interrupt. So I've to close LinuxDC++ when I need my notebook if it's indexing something.

I tried to set nice to +15, that helped but not perfectly. Maybe indexing should be less agressive?

Ubuntu 9.10, LinuxDC++ 1.1.0-0ubuntu1~bzr341 (from ppa).
