For all of you who may wish to discuss the CPU issues and Shareaza, I would suggest (for now) that you try to make contact with igalan - both here and in the Shareaza Forum.

igalan has considerable experience re: the 100% CPU usage 'lock-up' problems and will surely be happy to help...

(He is also the genius who did the translation work of Shareaza to 'Spanish' and is well up on the client.)

Regarding the socalled high CPU usage during hashing of files, I think that you will find that it is in fact one of the fastest of the clients...... A simple tip, if you have a large number of files to hash, is to allow the hashing process to run while disconnected or, at the very least, do not allow any file transfers or do any surfing while the hashing is taking place.......
Get it out of the way as fast as possible if the CPU usage bothers you.

urs the curse
