Hi, I was downloading bukkit, it said that it is harmful to download. Then I clicked download instead of discard. Then, in the next 5 minutes my computer was soooo slow, So I deleted bukkit. And everything was fast again. Is there a solution to this problem? I really want to host a server. And no, I wont rent a server host.
Every program "slows down" your computer. CraftBukkit will definitely use more RAM and CPU time compared to MS Editor, but actually you can upgrade your computer or - which is 'way' cheaper - tweak your start.bat to use less RAM, like 512MB
Any minecraft server will use up a lot of resources. It is recommended to run craftbukkit on a separate computer. If you don't have a spare computer laying around, ask your friends and especially any techie friends. A Pentium 4 or Pentium Dual-Core with 2 gigs of ram is a nice start.
