![]() ![]() ![]() Where's the other 34% shown on the graph?!įrom what I've witnessed using this PC for quite a while now, Process Lasso seems to be quite accurate. In the CPU column: reaper.exe = 16%, dwm.exe = 2%, System interrupts = 1%. This shows REAPER, Task Manager and Process Lasso (click the image for full screen view). Here's a few screen grabs to illustrate things a little more clearly. The obvious question is, what is right? They can't all be right surely? Then, I opened the Windows Resource Monitor and that showed roughly the same as the Task Manager on the graph (a little over 50 percent) but in the CPU usage column, I could only account for 19 percent CPU use, 16 percent used by REAPER. So, I opened the REAPER performance meter and that showed slightly LESS than Process Lasso for total CPU and slightly less than the Windows Task Manager for RT CPU. I was running a REAPER project earlier and had the Windows Task Manager opened to the CPU graph page and as the project was playing, it was showing more than 50 percent CPU use while the Process Lasso meter was showing less than half that. It basically keeps things responsive even at max CPU use and it can limit rouge processes from hogging the CPU.Īnyway, obviously it has a CPU meter and I have found that meter to be very accurate and convenient (it shows a little CPU graph in the system tray). I have a program called Process Lasso installed which is really useful and something I HIGHLY recommend. Here's where things get a bit weird though. That is to be expected and no reason for alarm, nor is it a problem for this PC. In the screen shots below, the project I have open has an Ozone 5 Exciter on the master and has oversampling turned on, hence the load it puts on RT CPU. RT CPU is the audio device thread used by one core and Total CPU is just that. The RT CPU vs the Total CPU display in REAPER's performance meter I understand. Something I have not really noticed until now is the vastly different CPU usage I am seeing reported by various CPU meters on my PC and I'm curious as to why. ![]()
