23% or so but the pops/clicks are due to the audio driver thread being maxed out (in this case record armed) which can only live on one core. Remember when I was saying up ^there somewhere about it being closer to hardware etc. when kernel time is high? See the screenshot below and notice the first core is showing that about 90% of that core's CPU time is spent down in kernel servicing hardware etc. (kernel = red). When CPU isn't near the hardware (up in user mode), it will appear more like the fifth core does....
Meaning, what I'm seeing is expected (by me anyway). Once I just play back and remove rec-arm the kernel time drops enough that the crackles go away, again expected. Once we moved beyond single CPU machines, total CPU % is fairly useless for judging pops and clicks.
