terrypin Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I note that in Task Manager (XP Pro here) MaxExp.exe is always high up on the list when sorted by CPU descending. Showing 0-2%, it's in company with Explorer.exe and other 'big stuff', in the top half dozen. This is when ME Pro is not running a macro (and hasn't been doing so for hours). FWIW, I ran ProcMon for a few seconds, and filtered Process Name with 'MacExp.exe', giving this result. Means nothing to me, but maybe it will offer clues to others: My file FULL2010.mex is admittedly rather large, 4.1 MB, with 1055 macros in 74 categories. Needs some culling when I get time. But could that be the cause? Is the file constantly scanned or something? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Macro Express is constantly watching for windows and controls to come and go. If you have scheduled macros, it is checking every 10 seconds (by default but if I recall from another thread, you have set it to 1 second) to see if it is time to run another macro. It is watching for messages indicating that a file or folder has changed. Macro Express is never completely idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypin Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks Kevin. I may well have changed it at some time to test a particular macro, but at present Check the scheduled macros... is set to 10 seconds. So I wouldn't expect that to be of any significance. Does the CPU usage depend to any extent on the size of the MEX file? Does mine (with maybe a third of those thousand or so macros disabled) look particularly 'heavy' to you? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
