Cabos uses Java too - lullabud
I was wrong, Cabos uses Java. It does have a smaller resource footprint, but I haven't used it all that much so I'm not sure how it is with the long run. Acquisition works fine for me though, so I'm sticking with it.Wednesday, June 15 2005 @ 09:03 AM PDT
That's Informative - lullabud
I don't know why you're being modded down for that, it's very informative. I've always disliked the huge resource footprint that goes along with Acquisition, Java.... Cabos may not have the snazzy UI that Acquisition has, which is a *very* nice feature, but the fact that it uses a fraction of the resources could be the deciding factor. Right now I have Cabos open and my CPU usage is dipping below 10%. With Acquisition 118.5 it's not below 25%, idling. I think Acquisition is great, but Java sucks resources, so Acquisition is inherently tainted by the Java suckage. Thanks for the tip about Cabos.Reply to This
