I recently started using Phex 3.0.0.99 under Linux. Searches, downloads, uploads, sharing, etc. are all working, but I have noticed that even when it's not doing any of these things, it eventually starts eating up a huge amount of CPU time and the disk is grinding away intensively.

After a while (usually 15-30 minutes), I can't even exit from Phex: I select Exit from the menu, and then the IDE hangs with the disk grinding and the CPU spinning away. I eventually (after a few minutes) have to kill the java process externally.

Also, I noticed that when searches are going on, the keyboard and mouse are quite unresponsive. I can click on an item in the Search window, and it sometimes doesn't get highlighted for 5-10 seconds ... and if more entries come into this window during that interval, sometimes the wrong item gets highlighted. It seems like the keyboard- and mouse-event threads are not getting enough resources when searches are taking place.

This slowness also occurs occasionally during downloads when no searches are going on, and at the same time of this sluggishness, the disk is grinding away intensively.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks.

By the way ...
