[...] Git also make it easy. I was reluctant to move from Bazaar to Git for RubyInstaller but I found it more easy to accept contributions (repository here and reasons here) [...]

mine also takes up 100% cpu [on...at least two computers, one without virus scanner] — that’s with using the distro from http://www.akitaonrails.com/2008/7/26/still-playing-with-ruby-on-windows as well as 1.9 built from source. Hmm.

Mario Steele was having the same problem, and was related to Antivirus software. Please check that in another computer before try 1.8.7.

Thanks, when I running irb, both ruby.exe and csrss.exe take up all the cpu usage.

I will try the 1.8.7 ruby version and see whether it will fix my problem.

Thanks for the reply anywhere.

@sgwong: the version I put online ship with these fixes. In case you find it still eat your CPU, you need to check your AV software since sometimes they interfere.

Every time I make a reference to the 7z packages you can grab them here:

http://dump.mmediasys.com/installer3/

Is 1.8.6-p114 release with the patches from patches directory applied to original source code.

In case you need to build anythin you can grab the sandbox too.

We are working on get a proper installer, sorry for that.

HTH.

I haven’t try the latest ruby-mingw version yet. Did the latest version had fixed the high cpu consumption when running irb?

In your blog you had mention that there are some.7z release, where can I download that?
