[tahoe-dev] 1.6.0 When storing shares (from another machine), Python consumes --> 100% of local (storage node) CPU

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

There are a couple of diagnostics that you can do if something is
running your CPU at max. The first thing is to run "top" and see what
processes are taking up so much CPU! Also look at the vmsize and
resident size memory stats. Write these things down in order to report
them to us. Next you check the "twistd.log" file in the "logs"
subdirectory of the node's base directory, then the "incidents"
subdirectory of the "logs" subdirectory. Please attach these to a
ticket describing what you observed. The next thing you can do to
diagnose high CPU usage on Linux (if top shows you that indeed high
CPU usage is happening) is to install and run oprofile
http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/docs/ .

I've created a web page about "how to report a bug" which includes
where to find the log files:
