    I don't think Chrome is the problem, plenty use it. Neither is running PC at that rate. You likely need to restart your computer. It doesn't have to be a script or something Turk related, if your computer has a slowdown for another reason, it can kick up the PREs. For instance, I had a ton the other day when a Windows 10 update was downloading without my knowing it, hogging my computer's resources temporarily.

    Also, PREs shouldn't worry you much if you're still catching stuff. Keep them as low as you can, but be most concerned with them when it messes up your workflow.

    Yeah, I've restarted it a couple times already. I have no clue why this is happening as I've never had this problem before.

    Is PC running in an active tab? Meaning, it's the visible tab in whichever window you have it open?

    How many tabs do you have opened in Chrome? Have you checked to see if any of them are running at a high rate? Done the same with your computer's task manager? Also, think about anything else that has changed since you've had the problem. AV updates have caused problems requiring a re-install or fix.

    I can tell you it's most certainly not helping running MTS finder/catcher, PC, and turkmaster alll at the same time. I recommend you use MTS just for it's tracker. Use PC (you seem to have a grasp on this), and use forker. Make sure you put in your turkerview API key for forker so you get color coded feedback on what HITs are worth working. Also collapse the recent HITs and just look at the logged HITs. They don't stay under recent very long and can scroll into oblivion before you can grab them. You'll need to install PC, forker, PC helper (so you can grab hits from the forums), and I'm not sure what the queue helper does, but I have PC queue helper installed too.

    Clearly, I should have spent some time on the gif maker today.

    I have 3 tabs opened rn and nothing has changed since yesterday. I was able to catch a couple pandas today, but I was only worried because I heard that too many PREs could be a cause for account suspension.

    PC needs to be in it's own window. Not in a tab with other things.

    I actually don't have any other scripts running rn since I uninstalled everything to see if the other scripts were the cause of this. I'm definitely going to check out hit forker, thank you.
