As a developer making an app that uses CouchDB for data storage, and working mostly on a laptop I noticed that erl.exe for CouchDB 1.6.1 had the CPU usage at 5% when it was idle (with no connections to it at all, no replication, no pending tasks). With CouchDB 2, idle CPU usage is around 8 to 12%.
Is there anything that I can do to make erl.exe use 0% when idle but running CouchDB?
Maybe lower it a bit?
My CouchDB conf doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, aside from configuring an admin password, and listening on 0.0.0.0.
My current work around is to stop CouchDB when I am not executing the app, and starting back up when executing the app.
Thank you.
