Matt,
I am sorry to see you dragged into this problem and away from more productive efforts. At the same time, I appreciate your direct interest. Here are a couple of screen caps with notations that should satisfy your request.
For this test, I started TG, clicked the "OK" button on the intro screen and let it run. My only other interaction was to click the exit button to terminate TG.
The higher than expected CPU usage always occurs during what I assume are TG idle times. As you can see from the graph the instantaneous CPU usage bounces up and down but averages about 50% for both cores. Both cores max out briefly during the preview rendering which I would expect. I would see the same behavior under the previous, non-multi threaded, version of TG.
Is there some OS option that could make the two cores act as redundant backups for each other rather than operating independently?
Should this particular discussion be moved to the Support forum? I don't want to interfere with others discussing the new version.
Thanks,
Dave
