Problem regarding cpu usage

[ghostless]

I've used enders client every time i've played haven and had no issues, but playing it this time round it seems to be causing an issue ( to be honest i'm not sure if it is normal or not but it does seem strange ).

While playing i've noticed it gets pretty choppy for me, not a latency issue more just graphical lag than anything.

My system should be way more than powerful enough to handle a bit of haven:

Intel core2 duo 2.66GHZ, 2.67GHZ
4 gig ram Nvidia Geforce GT440

and yet when i check in my task manager and see Java.exe in the process tab while playing i noticed it is CONSTANTLY bouncing between 40 - 80% cpu usage.
It seems to stick around 50 - 60% mostly but it never drops below 40.

Is this a normal thing guys or am i doing something wrong? any help would be appreciated.

for me it's at about 50% on both cores normally on 3 ghz AMD Dual Core

Is using both cores a problem? I understand there's a way to use only the 1. would that improve performance somewhat?

i didn't see a difference when forcing java to use one core only - guess you just might try

probably as HnH does a lot of swapping on HDD this causes load on cores too

are your graphic drivers up to date?

[ghostless]

Nope, no change... Well if you say you're on the same sort of usage then i suppose it's nothing abnormal.

So thank you very kindly for helping me out with that

Yeah everything is all up to date, thats why i was finding it a bit odd.
I know this sounds rediculous but i am on a 64bit setup but I can only get the 32bit enders client to work for me. I would assume that would be the problem but if other people are getting the same issue i suppose it must be normal

what OS? 7 or 8 ?

you probably have 32 bit java, so you can only use 32 bit enders. same for me on my 64 bit machine, i never bothered installing 64 bit java, so i run 32 bit java + enders
