Greetings --
I just wanted to have a post on the board for this problem in case it starts cropping up elsewhere. I've had the WCG agent running for a couple days now and just this morning the WCGrid_rosetta.exe process went berzerk, suddenly consuming over 2GB of pagefile and enough CPU to drag the PC to a near halt. I was able to terminate the offending process, but had to terminate the UD.exe process (the agent) to prevent rosetta from restarting. Hopefully this was a fluke and won't happen again. I'll post a reply if the problem persists. Best Regards, -- Walkwist |

Can you post a screenshot of your data or tool used to determine this? As far as CPU, it's supposed to consume all CPU not being used by other programs. It does this by running at the lowest priority possible.

It does this by running at the lowest priority possible. I understand what it should be doing regarding CPU usage, and that didn't seem to really be the problem. Rather I belive it was the huge mem usage that slowed everything down and caught my attention. Sorry I don't have a screen capture. If it happens again (it hasn't so far) I will be sure to get one. I monitor mem usage by watching the "mem usage" column on the XP task manager. Also the commit charge printed at the bottom of the task manager read max at somewhere in the 2.5GB range. The same could be seen in the "page file usage" graph on the performance tab. When I killed WCGrid_rosetta.exe, PF usage dropped back down to normal for my box (around 600MB). I know that's not much to go on. If there's any sort of debug logging that can be turned on I'd be happy to assist. (Assuming it happens again.) Overall I'm impressed. Good work.
