I just did a fresh windows 7 install and Gotham 13.2. Norton internet security shows that Gotham is using about 50% of my system resources. Previously with frodo in windowed mode resource utilization seemed higher than in full screen, but utilization overall was lower. Is this normal for Gotham.
Thanks,

Humm... not sure. According to process explorer (MS monitoring program) I'm up to 58 processes with a CPU usage of less than 1% (that's with XBMC-Kodi running in both windowed or minimized) and looks like I'm using ~2 gigs of my available 12 gigs or ram. This is with Win/7/64 and Gotham 13.2
I've heard funny things with Norton monitors, I don't trust software I have to buy. What are you doing with the other 50% of your resources that you need to be concerned?

Pat,
When utilization is up I can hear the fan spin up. I just don't want to be stressing or constantly heating up the system. I am running 46 processes, including iTunes as a home sharing server, Norton, and Gotham. I just checked again and xbmc usage shows only 12%. I will continue to monitor it.
Thanks,
Eric

Take out Norton, bet your utilization drops quite a bit, not sure about Itunes as a sharing server, I don't run and never have.
