Edit: Title updated because now I'm getting crackling while recording. See my more recent posts. Oof.
 
 
Perhaps this is a sign of better resource management but I noticed that the CPU meters in my Performance module are all being pushed above 50% (but nice and evenly across all cores). This is not a particularly huge project compared to previous adventures (no synths... not an INSANE amount of tracks or clips, lots of instances of GR5 but not more than usual).
 
I haven't been experiencing problems but I'm wondering if this is part of the performance enhancements. As in Lexington is using CPU cores more evenly/properly instead of offloading tasks in a less efficient manner. I actually noticed this while I had my interface buffers set low for recording and set them higher again for editing with little change to the CPU meters (which usually makes them drop a bit).
 
As I said... no problems. Things seem to be chugging along nicely (and I'm in a full on tracking session). I'm just curious as to what this might represent.
 
I am on Win7 if that makes a difference.
 
Cheers.

I have noticed this too. I'm not that happy about it.

Interesting. I actually had a dropout while editing just now. I would normally expect a dropout when specifically doing what I was (and actually would expect more dropouts than I seem to be experiencing) but yanno... still not an enjoyable event. Certainly not heartbreaking though (I just start playback again and try not to be such a d*ck to the system).
 
Anyway. I guess I notice a little bit of extra snappiness in some regards (mostly opening projects which is nice) but I'm a little underwhelmed by the performance boost after all the fanfare.
 
Then again, as I said, I am on Win7 so maybe these improvements aren't as noticeable (or don't even apply) for me. I did ask whether they'd tested this stuff on Win7 a while back and... well didn't get much of a response.
 
Still likin' it but the CPU stuff is a little concerning because I do like to really abuse Sonar when I'm in the zone.
 
Meh... so far so good.
 
Thanks for confirming, John.
 
Cheers.

What OS are you guys running?  I have seen a few instances of Win 10 just using a lot of CPU all by itself.  Often the runtime broker using 20% to 60% of available CPU time.  This particular issue seems to happen more often on Windows 10 machines that were upgraded from Windows 7 or 8.x.
 
Seeing much in task manager?

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit Insider Preview. 

Which version of sonar are you comparing to? Please submit a project if you can repro a loss of cpu perf

It is Lexington Noel. 

Right but what are you comparing Lexington to when you say that its using more CPU?

The past versions. 

Hi, Noel. I'll provide some more detail when I can get my brain together. I'm in the middle of something (music related) and not feelin' so hot today so want to make sure I can give proper details.
 
Nothing is screwing up. I just found the activity meter goind way more nuts than I'm used to for such a (relatively) simple project.
 
I'll be back.
 
Cheers.
