High CPU usage even when not syncing or indexing

I can only totally agree with megawhite . The current release needs to get the fix asap.

I did test out the beta client, and to my surprise it really fixes the CPU issues, when nothing is being synced, the CPU load from Dropbox processes drops below 1% (usually less than 0.1% on an average of one hour) and also the Windows Processes seem to "ignore" changes once the Dropbox Client is done with syncing.

However, the beta client has some bugs and specifically drawbacks for me:

Bugs:

• randomly, the client just shuts down. No reason given, even in the windows eventmanager there is no entry other than the process was ended.
• I had to login a couple of times for some reasons, like it wasn't saving my credentials properly on the first few times.
• The task bar icon sometimes isf lickering on my screen when I launch the client (e.g. after it closed or rebooting the pc). Again, randomly and I can't enforce it

Drawbacks (totally personally, may not be the case for others):

• the regular client has no issues with my wifi/internet connection at work or at home, the beta client however is struggeling with my home connection. I don't think it's related to the wifi/router, but from my ISP (start.ca). Sometimes the connection to the servers is slow/delayed. E.g. if I add something from my phone via mobile data or a colleague uploads at work (100MB/s upload) it can take several hours before my beta client is syncing the changes. The file is immediately available on the web interface, as well as on my phone and the "regular release" client.
