Processor Usage in MC 25.108

(1/3) > >>

scottlf:
On average my MacBook Pro tends to hit somewhere around 160% processor usage when running the latest release of MC 25. I've tried turning off the "check for library updates in the background" and I've also turned off the media server, but it's still awfully high.

I'm running Mojave 10.14.6 on a 2015 MacBook Pro, 28 GHz Intel Core i7.

I've gone back to MC 21 for the meanwhile -- and processor usage is modest, about 1.4% or so.

Any thoughts to what could be eating up processor cycles like this?

blgentry:
That does seem really high.  The biggest offender for this is typically the spectrum analyzer (the little bouncing bars to left and right of the text display at the top).

On my system, CPU utilization is about 3% with those off, and about 30% with them on.  That's on a 4GHz quad core i7 iMac.

To turn them off, right click on the display area, and in the menu that comes up, deselect spectrum analyzer.

Hopefully that will "fix it".

That does seem high indeed.
Is any auto import proces running? Or grabbing of images online?
With one spectrum analyzer on I'm on 8 and with one about 3,3%.

bob:
Also if it's rebuilding thumbnails or re-analyzing the audio for some reason it will use a lot of cpu. The log would be helpful.
It idles around .9%, playing, dual spectrum analyzer enabled, 15%, w/o analyzer 6.3%
Mac mini 2012 w/retina monitor.

Update: I upgraded it to 25.114 and the processor usage has calmed down -- around 2.0 to 2.5% when playing audio, with the spectrum analyzer off.
