How much resources does Plagiarism Detector use?
--
Plagiarism-Detector is pretty resource consuming application it requires pretty good processing
power.
 
1. It takes 30-50 seconds at startup because it connects to our main server
to verify your access permission.
 
2. When not running, it does not posses any system resources.
3. If running the following resources are vastly exploited:
      a) Internet Bandwidth. PD queries search engine many times per second to
      harvest data.
      b) CPU usage can rise up to 100%. This is required by Text Comparator - a
      special module that several "processor-hungry" algorithms that performs
      source <-> reference analysis.
      c) CPU usage can rise up to 100% due to "Cross-Check" running in Advanced Report Viewer
      as text is being highlighted in browser document.

Everything mentioned above greatly depends on the document size. You may experience this in case the
document checked is bigger than 5-6 pages of text, and resource usage grows exponentially.

Good news is that no web-based service can afford to use the same amount of
resources to spend onto every client. This makes Plagiarism-Detector the most
powerful Plagiarism Detection tool existing.
