if its multicore then use task manager and deselect a core to stop it being a pig.

Bitcoin Core supports a "par" parameter to control this, usable both in the command line and in the bitcoin.conf file.

running bitcoind on a shared bps is generally a bad idea and pretty unfair on the other users to. if its multicore then use task manager and deselect a core to stop it being a pig. failing that find a good cheap VPS provider. there are alot of options out there

I attempted to run bitcore to catch up with the blockchain on a shared VPS. It's using too much resource. The load avg spiked to 3 for a few hours and my vps got suspended. Is there a way to lower the priority of bitcore especially when catching up ? I tried the nice command but it rarely helped. Should be an option for bitcoind to consume less resource by running slower ?
crissic?

try cpulimit

It's been too long since I tried to run my own node/wallet:
Does anyone know of an easy-to-use Windows Bitcoin wallet with a cpulimit option?
