I think I posted about it again when I started fresh with my computer (had to re-install the OS)--because since that time, CPU usage can go up to a full 100% while burning to folder.
I finally mentioned this oddity to the computer expert who built my machine, and he was alarmed. He's never heard of a program doing that, and he was sure that the only thing that could cause that would be bad programming.
That subject came up on one of the music software forums I frequent, and the consensus is that a program using 100% CPU has to have major problems with it. Typically, while rendering music files, our machines use up to maybe 40%.
Both the tech who built my computer, and experts at this music forum think the only outcome from using a program that runs my computer so hot is that it will have a far shorter life span than it should.--
So I find myself avoiding finalizing my projects - and I really grin and bear it when I do burn to folder, getting worried over how PD pushes the computer so hard.
Any thoughts on this topic?--Info?- Reassurances to the contrary of what I've said here?--- Really not happy with this.
