Processor usage 100% (is this normal)

[mrwasp]

Hi there,

I tried the demo (resolume 2.0) on a desktop pc of mine that's two years old. It's a not too heavy system. It all works fine on there.

But it's easier taking laptops with me to a gig so I tried the 2.3 (and the 2.0) version on my Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet Laptop (it has 2 gig ram, NVIDIA® | nVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 TE, Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology with Intel® Pentium® M Processor 760, Intel® 915PM Express chipset | 2,0 GHz | front side bus : 533 MHz | 2nd level cache : 2 MB.)

Don't know if you need all that but the point is. When Resolume starts, the processor maxes out on 100% and keeps being between 90 and 100%. And this is when I din't even load one clip. I thought "maybe it's my laptop", so tried it with a similar one a friend of mine owns, same result. Also the same result with another different model and different brand laptop (don't know which one it was).

Is there a setting I need to switch on so this is prevented?
Help please

Cheers

I want to add that when I do load a file (that worked perfectly fine on the desktop) it plays back slowly and resolume eventually crashes.

All files were redered in the codec and format recomended on this site.

Also, some files don't play until the end and don't loop unless you shorted the clip.

I know it's been posted before, but I didn't read any solution to the slow performance, looping and crashing of resolume in this case.

So sorry if it is a repost

The 100% cpu is normal. Resolume basically reserves the entire cpu to use for itself, so it doesn't have to try to grab resources on the fly - it's already to go in real time...

As for the crashing, those are issues beyond the cpu usage. Update all drivers, disable or uninstall all antivirus, there's a slew of things that could cause that...
