rodlord Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi RetroEngine and RetroISA seem to be constantly using up LARGE amounts of CPU and RAM percentage. How can I force these to stop interfering when Retrospect is not launched ? Is it possible to set it so that they are only active when the application itself is launched ? cheers Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Retroengine is the one doing the job. The application is just for viewing what is happening with the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodlord Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yes, thanks Lennart. I kind of get the idea, but these 2 background processes are chuntering away ALL the time, even if there is no job going on. I don't use scripts etc, I just fire up Retrospect when I want it to actually do something. Is there a way of telling the background processes to mind their own business when the Application is not active ? This was never a problem with the earlier version I was using on my old G4. cheers Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 You can turn on and off the Engine in the Retrospect pane in (Apple's) System Preferences. I think there is a preference for RetroISA in Retrospect itself. I can't remember what it is called from the top of my head. It has to do with faster scanning before the backup starts.

It has to do with faster scanning before the backup starts. This is the Instant Scan preference; it's also located in the Retrospect preference pane in System Preferences.

rodlord Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I found the Retrospect settings in preferences after posting my last message but thank you both for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
