Please help... Is my machine not good enough?

Hello,
So I'm a GSA SER newbie, just purchased the software.

I have it running on a PC with:
i5-3330 @3.00GHZ
16 GB DDR3 RAM

I'm just running one campaign with multiple targets and URLs on a premium AA list, just for comments/guestbooks.

I'm running 100 threads with 180s HTML timeout.

RAM is fine, but CPU keeps spiking to 100%

I've started at 250 threads and lowered to 200, 150 and not I'm at 100.

Is this normal? Should I leave it at 250 since I still get 100% CPU spikes?

Thanks all!

    no it's not normal. Maybe it's something else than the projects. Maybe you have proxy scraping enabled with a lot of threads?

    nothing else. 30 dedicated proxies and not scraping for anything. proxies and targets are already bought.

    Run it on 16.04 version - it will be fine.

    You mean I should downgrade from 16.26 to 16.04? Is there a way to do that? Thanks!

    All right guys, thanks so much! With 16.04 and under 200 threads (190) it stays below 100% CPU usage. Thanks again!

    For me on 1000 threads it works at about 30% CPU. At start it does 100% but later drops.
