#246 file urls (and urls_backup) is getting very large

The portable version 1.6.6.500 creates a file urls (and also urls_backup).
I imported a few projects (ca. 30) from version 1.6.5.470.
Some of them are not available (that's ok) and the others are (also ok).
The available one are using https. It seems that https doesn't work with
1.6.5.470. That's the reason for downlowding the newer version.

After some minutes both files (urls and urls_backup) got larger and larger
(some MB).

I would expect that the filesize will stay constant or probably grows very
slowly. All of my projects with all comments would create a filesize of ca.
0,5MB. So why are they getting that large?

The processor and memory usage is periodicly very high (while requesting the projects).

the urls file also contains all the fetched log messages. That's why it grows.
And 1.6.5 worked perfectly fine with https - if it doesn't for you, then something on
your OS setup is wrong.

Version 1.6.6.500 can handle https, 1.6.5 seems to do not. Which OS setting can
effect this? The program has achieved only a few more comments for the projects, but
the files still grows a lot (many MB). Maybe it stores all the old messages again...

In the options dialog, there's a setting "number of log messages to fetch for new
projects".

I set the parameter from 30 to 5 and the files seems not to grow - it keeps it size
of ca. 60MB each. But while the processor usage is very high a temporary file
urls_new is created and grows for several MB per second. Is there a possibility to
reduce the extensive processor/memory (50% CPU in a dual core system, ca. 270 MB RAM)
usage?

Sorry, the CPU use can't be reduced. That's when the urls file is written and loaded.
But you can reduce the check time.
And the memory use isn't really 270MB RAM - CM uses much less. The number you see is
the overall use, including all system dlls which already are in RAM and shared
between processes, so you can't really 'add' those to CM.
If you want to get an estimate of the real memory use, use the process explorer and
check the "working set size".

The further versions didn't use that much memory/CPU. I have used no larger check
time in the old version. I can reduce it but that's not what I want.

The CPU spike shouldn't last more than a few seconds (about two, maybe four).
If it takes longer, then I suspect your urls file is corrupted. Try deleting it
(export your settings first).

I have already tried that a few times - with always the same result.
