[Skimmertalk] CPU for Skimmerserver

[Timothy Coker]

>From W6 here are some notes that I took between June and July of 2012. The
usage percentage should go up during the fall and winter season here.

CPU usage of CW Skimmer Server on an XP machine using a E6600 (Core 2 Dual
CPU @2.4 Ghz) with 4GB DDR2 800 is 34% average at 192khz 6 bands.

CPU usage of CW Skimmer Server on an XP machine using a Q6600 (Core 2 Quad
CPU @2.4 Ghz) with 4GB DDR2 800 is 18% average at 192khz 6 bands.

CPU usage of CW Skimmer Server on an Win7 machine using an i5-2500K (Quad
CPU @3.30 Ghz) with 16GB DDR3 1600 is 7.5% average at 192khz 6 bands. (Just
built this one for W6PH)

During contest weekends the CPU usage goes up to 28% from 18% on my Q6600
semi-dedicated Skimmer machine. During Field Day my father's E4400 dual
core ~2.1Ghz machine used ~50% CPU resources.

I have been contesting during CQ WW CW and ARRL SS CW using the XP Q6600
machine with Skimmer and Win-test running without issues.
