Thanks, I did a bit of reading now, chiefly:
Hi there,
It seems that Renoise isn’t happy with my 6 cores machine. It’s not enough for it.
As you can see on that screen capture:

It goes up to 100% and starts to pour crap into my fine RME Fireface 800. Me sad. :’(
So I launched a task manager to see what was up, and behold:
4921 [cpu_usage.png]
Yeah well. That’s pretty far from 100%. We can see a spike, but at no moment is the machine near 100% usage.
So well. Yes. This is a track with a lot of crazy plugins, but on …
I have read many threads about the differences between the Renoise CPU meter and the one in the system. I am aware of the differences, but I wonder about the fact that Renoise seems to show only the usage of one CPU core, even if multiple cores are selected. May this be a bug? Example: I have Native Instruments Reaktor 5 with a nice preset inserted, play around, Renoise shows me around 25% CPU usage, no matter how many cores I activate / select.
Running the same plugin and preset in REAPER show…
Hmm, this is both confusing and a little useless for how I use the CPU meter, but I’m used to Reaper’s way of displaying usage (which seems to reflect the performance manager’s display, which is the actual CPU load).
I’m glad it’s not actually a problem and Renoise isn’t hogging the CPU.
