Hey...
This wish may sound stupid at first, but I'm in the situation, where I seed more than 1000 Torrents. Even only clicking on the windows so it gets active sometimes needs seconds, the client starting takes probably half a minute or more, scrolling through the torrents has noticable lags and the worst is, when I need to stop all torrents or want to restart them all at once, qBittorrent can do this, which is great (!) , but the process stops responding for minutes.
At first I thought this was inevitable, but then I tried Tixati, and I had nothing of those things with it. Instant start, scrolling through 1000+ torrents like through a webpage with 0 lags a.s.o.. The main difference between Tixati and qBittorrent that I can see, is, that Tixati uses up to 7 or 8% of my CPU and up to 600-700MB of RAM. I'd wish, qBittorrent could do this to. 7-8% CPU and 600-700MB RAM I can easily spend on file-sharing without even noticing that I miss them, I'd be ok with up to 15% CPU and 2GB of RAM, if that would go along with advantages.
Some people will be against this though, and qBittorrent is designed as minimalistic as possible, that's why I'd whish that there was an Option to make it use more resources. Seeding 1000+ torrents may not be that normal, but I'm sure, that there are other users in a similar situation, that would appreciate this.

Re: [Wish] Option to make qBittorrent use more resources (RAM, CPU, etc.)
The USP (Unique Selling Point) of qbittorrent is that it uses minimal resources, which makes it unsuitable for being a "high powered" bittorrent client. You can make it run with a few hundred loaded tasks PROVIDED those tasks are NOT all high load tasks. But running thousands of tasks is not really what it is meant to be for, qbittorrent is aimed mostly at the 'casual' user, who is running a few dozen tasks without it causing [too many] problems for other applications on the machine.that's why I'd whish that there was an Option to make it use more resources.
If you want to be a 'power user' with many hundreds or thousands of tasks loaded and running, you are using the wrong tool for the job. qbittorrent is the 'jewellers screwdriver' and what you really need a hammer!
