I would be very interested to know what is using up all the processor time inside Phex..... just some questions to try to find the problem.

How many files are you sharing? Are all files already hashed? Maybe they are hashed again on each restart (a bug)?
How many parallel downloads did you configure?
How many downloads do you have in your download list?

If you are a bit familiar with Windows, Can you start Phex with the Debug Link, wait a couple of minutes or an hour and send me a thread dump? You can create the thread dump by pressing CTRL-BREAK in the debug concole. You might need to enlarge the screen buffer to see the full dump. Just ask if you need help doing this.
