Housekeeper 1.12.1 - 100% CPU usage (a single core) in quiet period

General
1

If the Housekeeper is still not finished processing all the changes AND it is currently in its “quiet period” then it seems to be going into a “busy wait” around here: https://hg.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/file/tip/OrthancServer/Plugins/Samples/Housekeeper/Plugin.cpp#l700 .
We noticed this in multiple environments.

Shouldn’t we add some sleep (a minute maybe?) in that else block to avoid spinning the CPU unnecessarily?

Hi Andràs,

You are totally right !

I have just fixed it. Note, however, that I have introduced only a 1 sec sleep to allow Orthanc to exit quickly when requested.

Thanks a lot !

Alain.
