Holy shite, at an idle, this new Messenger is running my CPU at 20% load. DOING NOTHING.

Awesome. I just got MSN 8.0 Beta (which looks exactly like MSN Live) and I really don't like it much. It's also using an insane amount of CPU while idle. Screw that. Back to 7.5. (Plus i don't like the fact that it's not showing the avatars in my contact list anymore. Blah!)

Whatever it may take I keep on trying.

After 30 minutes of light usage, it's now sucking up 48MB of memory with zero contact windows open, and only having had 2 conversations for a few minutes.

Also when going through the contact list, due to the nice fancy graphics it rides the CPU load up to 100% doing basic things.

Something is wrong with your machine. Consider:

1) My entire system (with MSN Live running) idles at less than 5%.

2) Messenger Live only takes up 20 MB of memory on my system (Firefox 22 MB, IE 25 MB).

3) Big deal if your CPU jumps to 100% usage at times. That is why it is there (to be used). Be concerned if it sits at 100% for minutes at a time. Be concerned with page file usage.

* #1 and #2 are with uptime of about 8 hours, 6 hours of which have been with Messenger Live loaded and running (2 hours were pre-upgrade).

Invite plz

It must've been doing something previously, because now it's down to 2%. Memory usage on it is down to 42MB though.

On a sidenote, with my box being up for the past 17 days without a reboot, Firefox is using 331MB of my memory

if you can use anything other than MSN to manage MSN contacts... do it.

POS software.

Anyone here know anything about Adium? I plan to replace my family's computer with a Mac Mini and get Adium for my sisters to run their MSN instead of MacMessenger.
