Once the consensus diffs are processed the load drops to normal. After some time without anything noticeable for me in the debug logs the
CPU suddenly jumps to 100% again and stays there till another consensus diffs are arriving.
Its not as worse as it was the first two days where i had 100% CPU load
half of the time but i still have this about 10-15 times a day for a few seconds or minutes each.
For the next few minutes after the CPU dropped to normal the throughput
is close to zero so this cant be good for clients.
It would be nice to have a fix in 0.4.4 stable or earlier so that i can
decide if i want to buy a Windows license key or rather shut it down.
Does setting "DirCache 0" in your torrc resolve the issue?
Yes it look like thats working. I lost the Guard flag (like expected) but in the last 24 hours i had no problems anymore.
There's a suggested patch on the ticket:

But we've had trouble getting people to help with Windows development and testing.
Can you compile tor from source for Windows?
i've never done that before. If there is a step-by-step guide it might be interesting to learn.
Or if we get a fix merged into tor, can you install the Windows
"Tor Expert Bundle" ?
This should be no problem.
I think i will keep the Windows setup at least for some time so if i can help that way feel free to send me or point me to anything Windows related what needs some testing in real world.
