As I type I have three recording going and my system is going over 20 in top's load. Under .27 it wouldn't break a sweat. It's a two core system and I only allow one job at a time. Only job running right now is a commflag on one of the recordings.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Even when it's not spiking this high, entering and exiting a recording can take 30+ seconds. I've included a snap of top. But where should I be looking? Or what info should I post here? Again I've been running since April 2011 and have never seen this load issue.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Thanks!</div></div>

<br></blockquote></div>It's the front end that's causing the load. I would check to make sure you're using the correct video drivers and rendering engine. Could be the osd as well. </div></div></div>
