[Flexradio] Is it normal for CPU usage % to increase for first few minutes?

2009-11-23 Thread Jeff Singer
I'm using a month-old Flex 5000A with a clean new computer that employs 
AMD quad core 3.21 gHz processor and 2.75 gb of RAM.

CPU usage starts off around 10% after the computer and Flex are booted 
but gradually rises to about 30% after about 4 minutes and remains around 
that level. Nothing else is running on the computer. Radio is on USB with 
no signals in passband. Buffer and sample rates are mid-range. Panadaptor 
is on. 

1) Why does the CPU usage gradually increase? 
2) isn't 30% CPU usage high for such a powerful computer? 

I occasionally get some minor drop outs. 

Thanks
Jeff K0OD

Jeff,

You did not say what OS you are running,  but make sure that you have 
the Power Options set to High Performance in the Windows Control 
panel..   Also AMD has some power saving utilities that may be kicking 
in on you,  this will slow the CPU down,  might double check the system 
BIOS options too.
