A follow up on my mail from the other day (got it send from the wrong email address...)
I now exit the ipc thread at startup by inserting: void ipcThread(void* parg) { ipcShutdown(); return; Bitcoin-Qt is now running nicely using around 0.9% CPU. So it seems like the culprit was indeed line 31: if(mq->timed_receive(&strBuf, sizeof(strBuf), nSize, nPriority, d)) Others, who have seen similar issues ?
