Here's a strange thing: with load balancing enabled, the first thread is getting very little of the load, but the seven remaining threads are looking pretty even in handling the remainder. Thoughts?
Originally, the first thread was running about 20% higher than the remaining seven threads. All told, I thought this was pretty even, but now, the load seems to be avoiding the first thread.
In Load balancing mode if you are using the "audio processing load" cpu metering mode, the per core meters only tell only a part of the story so you can't take it too literally. Every core is indeed being used for processing. We may try and improve the display accuracy but it got very complex to represent with the new model where now every FX rack is potentially being load balanced.
If you want an accurate picture of what is going on from the OS point of view, watch the CPU metering mode (right click on the meters) to show the system load. In that mode keep in mind that it shows the use of your cores for ALL concurrent processes on your PC not just SONAR. Arguably that is a better metric to watch since it tells you exactly how the cores are utilized globally.
