[Winpcap-users] Buffer/CPU Usage problem

[Ioan Popescu]

I finally have the hardware to be able to give you guys some real numbers
regarding my previous "problem" concerning increasing amounts of CPU usage
with increasing buffer size. I let the test run for about a minute before
taking the average CPU usage. Another interesting thing I didn't notice
before, the CPU usage is at about 9% when "idling", but connected to the
active transmitting station.

Bandwidth usage: 43% of 100Base-TX connection.
