So its kind of like "reserving" 15% of the CPU for its use. You can make it "reserve" basically all the CPU if you use the -nosleep option.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to reduce the CPU usage, you can use Jack, then it usually goes down to 2-3%. The Jack I/O uses callbacks so it doesn't have the sleep, as far as I understand it.</div><div><br></div><div>.hc</div><br><div><div>On Sep 18, 2010, at 1:31 PM, jurgen wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I'm having strange readings from the Activity Monitor OS X.6.4 on a core2duo macbook pro.<div><br></div><div>There are 2 apps opened</div><div><br></div><div>pd-extended</div><div>and </div><div>pdextended</div><div><br></div><div>where the latter consumes 15% of CPU without a patch opened. </div><div><br></div><div>I just attach a screenshot.
