The good thing is that the system is used widely by lots of people, and even though computationally expensive, has been quite stable. -viral On Tuesday, December 2, 2014 8:32:26 PM UTC+5:30, Pileas wrote: > > I use both Windows and Linux. In my desktop I see no difference, for the > cooling sys

It's computationally expensive and involves forking git a lot. Should get better in the future once we're actively using libgit2 instead, but for now, that's how it works. If you're on Windows it's probably a million times worse. On Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 9:48 AM, Pileas wrote: > In the process of

In the process of updating Julia, I found out that the procedure uses 100% of the CPU. Although this may not be a problem for newer machines (especially desktops that have a good/decent cooling system), one may encounter problems while using a simple laptop. Is there a specific reason for Julia
