Hey,
I'm just now rendering a project, and the render speed was ok (4x).
But task manager gives me ~25% CPU usage*. Resource monitor says about the same (distrubuted across all 8 cores (4 real, 4 virtual I guess).
Is there something I can do in the Reaper settings, is there something in windows I need to look at, or is this normal behavior for some reason? (maybe a plugin doesnt allow full render speed)
Please help
Win 8.1, latest Reaper version
* also says CPU clock speed is @ 1.2 - even though 2.4 is the maximum speed.
Edit: Just to be sure: in my energy options, CPU is set to 100% minimum/maximum.
Also I just checked: if i disable all fx, the render speed picks up (to ~12x) but CPU usage still at 24%/1.2ghz
