Not really. Really not seeing what the issue is here. The new client really doesn't use more memory. It really doesn't use more resources at all from what I can find and it works much better even on old computers the the last client did.

You might run a ram and cpu meter. To see what we are speaking about.
At least 200mb ram more.
And do some random stuff like typing in the forum, scrolling, or just moving the mouse cursor into the window of steam, to see how the cpu likes the new client so much that it gets to 25% or even a lot more cpu usage while that.

And then look at a video in the store to witness the 100% cpu usage. :demoneye: :demoneye:

I just use a steam skin; all this non-sense u all speak off goes away. CPU never peaking above 10% with Steam. And letting Steam run all day, never uses beyond 300MB or so, even with 3 instances of "WebHelper" and 1 instance of BootStrapper. And that is with using 4GB RAM. Now if I do all my Steam web-related stuff in a browser like Chrome; that easily uses 2 - 3 X as much RAM as Steam, all for a dam webpage. So nothing wrong with Steam.

You all need to clear out your HTTP CACHE crap in your Steam folder.

If it were the changes to how Steam is using processes causing those issues the problem would be universal, but it isn't. Therefore, PEBKAC.

Do you run a cpu meter? Or do you just guess others must be wrong?
Move your mouse, type, scroll. Watch a picture, watch a video. Check the cpu WHILE that.
Come back.

Come back when you use the steam we use.

People just complaining for absolutely no reasons. As usual.

Also how much Steam uses most times, or how much the CPU spikes, can depend on how big you are running the Steam windows. If you have it maximized to your screen, running like 1080p or 1440p, maybe help to make the main Steam window a little smaller. You ever try that?

I keep track of my resources often enough that I can say with certainty that the new multiple processes are just as good or better than before with only one. The old process would increase in CPU and RAM usage with those actions as well so your argument is invalid.

Yes the webhelper is nothing new; it is just a new .exe
However, how Steam handles the resources remains unchanged.
You obviously have not been monitoring your system very closely if you have not noticed this.

My argument is: Minimized or not, steam uses cpu a lot more now.
If i listen to you i come to think again: Why just using 100% cpu for watching a tiny video?
What a waste firefox is, when it uses for the same video less?
We should all move to steam to watch videos. As it uses 100% cpu for that.

You dont deliver to this discussion apart from denying. You dont run a cpu meter, but you know exactly what happens.
Very solid. You have the key.

How about u just use Steam for "Steam" things. And use your web browser for the rest. How hard is this? If you expect Steam to run all day and you surfing many pages, pictures, videos all from within the Client, then no wonder it's hogging all your RAM.

So, we shouldnt use steam? Because its hogging our ram now? Maybe you are right.
Btw, the cpu usage is the main problem.

I bring the fact that watching a video drives the cpu to 100%.
You still claim the world is a sourcer.

What is your fact when watching a video? Tell us.

Also read about what trolling is. You might have a misconcept about that as well.

All I can say to the CPU usage is u must have a poor system. I can't say much more than that really.

Quad Core CPU here from like 4 years ago; usage never jumps high and when I stop doing something it goes back to 0-5%

Who cares what the usage is during a video, you are watching the video right? So what else matters at the very point in time? Seriously, WHO cares!

Yes my system is so weak that firefox uses a lot less cpu for displaying the same video on the steam store....
