Thanks for the suggestion I've tried this setting and cpu usage is still 
high in the 60%+
I've a SP1300 so I'd guess it should be as low as your usage.

I also see the CPU usage on record go all over the place.

It's all a bit odd as it was working fine before the upgrade, CPU usage 
on recordings is all over the place I'm wondering if advert detection is 
kicking in I think I've disabled it everywhere.
