Status in DC++: Incomplete

Bug description:
I'm suffering this issue since ages, but every new version makes DC++ even more hungry for my CPU.

Currently using: 0.708, XP Pro SP3 32bit, AthlonXP 3200+ on an Asus nForce2 Ultra 400.

I have Task Manager always running and i see that issue frecuently, but i don't know why.

I used to run Process Explorer and suspend the most CPU-consuming thread. Most of times were uploading threads, so one UL got frozen when i suspended it. Some times it was caused by an updating thread, so if i suspended that, the connections tab was frozen. Anyway, i could always restart DC++ if it decided to not respond me. But i had to deal with that issue a few times on older 0.6xx versions.

0.7xx versions seems to boost that strange behaviour (several times per day), so i don't know what to do cause i don't want to restart DC++ everytime i see that.

I insist most of times it's related to uploading thread, and if you cut that upload manually (<DEL> key makes the job) then CPU is again in normal usage percent. I don't know if it's only related to you and the user you're uploading cause it seems to appear with certain users.

This issue is confirmed with a friend with a very similar board/processor, but he's using 0.674 cause he hates new DC++.
