How to make valknut *MUCH* faster

Hi!

I have been using Valknut for about 4 months, and it is *appalyingly* 
slow. I mean, it is using 30-40% of my CPU non-stop (2400+ Athlon XP) - 
this is no joke. It really is 30-40%. I am in two hubs, both ~10'000 
users. I got really upset by the slowness, and after 4 months, I finally 
donwloaded the code, and started to tinker around with it. First, I 
switched off all the search-engine, because I thought that the amount of 
search requests I get is what is making this thing amazingly slow (i.e. 
people sending me a query and me having to search for it). But, to my 
*real* surprise, this didn't help at all. Hmm... so I thought, it must 
be the GUI. What is unusual in the GUI? Well, for a first, that 10'000 
long list on the right, always updated. Right! So... I simply did this:

/*            case DC_MESSAGE_MYINFO:
           {
               DC_MyInfo( (CMessageMyInfo *) Object );
               break;
           }
*/

OOOOOOOPPPPPPPPSSSS! 1% of proc usage! Wooow! And who needs the userlist 
anyways? I used it about twice in my life. I mean, what a trade-off! I 
can now use my computer with valknut running! I think this "discovery" 
of mine should be a reason to release a new version. I have read on the 
forums that *lots* of people have this problem. And they must be having 
it, too, since it really is a problem!

Please, if anyone on this email-list, reply, and do something about 
this. I hope this really helps!

Hy, i was wondering: is anyone still developing valknut? or its dead?
didn't anyone forked some new software from the valknut souce-code?

I have the same feeling: maybe nobody is developing valknut any more?

Please anyone actively developing it, reply! Thx!

Text interface

Re: Text interface

no you can't, but you can use ldcc or something like it(there are 2
text clients for DC if i remember correctly)...but they lack some of
the functionality.

Even though i think valknut should be forked or recoded.
