DW CS3 CPU usage on a Powermac G5

Can someone tell me if it's normal for DW CS3 to be using a
lot of CPU cycles while it's in the background doing nothing? I
have a 1.8Ghz G5 and am running 10.4.9. Thanks in advance.

Yes it can make HD video, it just won't import AVCHD from a camera straight into iMovie.
An intel mac will convert AVCHD to AIC on import a PPC mac can't do this but there are 3rd party applications that will convert AVCHD to AIC, which iMovie can then import.

Dreamweaver CS3 CPU usage

Hi all ...
I'm wondering how is it possible to Dreamweaver always take
over 50% of CPU, even if I;m not doing anything. I write just
XHTML, CSS ... not using connection to server or scripts. Is it
possible to somehow change the settings to make it 'lighter'.
I have: AMD Turion X2 2GHZ, Win XP, 2GB RAM

I'm on Vista, doing nothing with DW and my CPU usage is 7%.
So, DW doesn't
always do this (in fact it never has for me). I'd guess that
what you are
seeing is related to what else is happening on your PC.

PS CS3 CPU hungry

I am using Photoshop CS3 under Snow Leopard 10.6.4. PS is fully updated. For the first time PS is causing the fan on my MacBook Pro 4GB RAM to really speed up - and that's just because I'm working with an 8 MB PSD document. As soon as I stop using any of the tools from the palette the fan slows down.
Checking the activity monitor when the fan hits in it reads PS between 45-70 percent on CPU-usage. It has got to be something fundamentally wrong with PS CS3 here. If my memory serves me right I recall someone from the PS-crew saying that CS3 will run without problems under Snow Leopard, with no known issues. Well, this is an issue I believe.
Anybody else experiencing this type of problem? Feedback on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
PS! I am not going to upgrade to CS5 Design Premium as I believe Adobe releases major expensive upgrades way to fast. So don't bother mentioning that.

Hi, Cris!
What changed on your system (outside of Photoshop) around that time? Updates? New software? Changed settings?
Only regular stuff: most of them only updates for browsers, antivirus, firewall etc ... nothing related to photoshop
Did you change anything inside Photoshop (showing different palettes, change in prefs)? Especially check Photoshop's prefs for how much memory you allocated to it.
I kept my performance prefs exactly like 2-3 days ago when photoshop worked good and smooth.
What you're describing could be a video driver problem, or just VM thrashing (by the OS or Photoshop's scratch disk). But it's also possible it's due to some other factor inside Photoshop that didn't get included in your description.
I have the last version of nVidia driver (installed 2 months ago) for video card.

Only max 30% cpu usage when rendering

I making an animation that I have done in 3dsMax and save it as a .png sequence. Have done the editing in Premiere cs3, but when I export it with Adobe media encoder as .wmv, it only uses max 30% of the CPU, I have a quadcore 9550, and Vista buisniess64 with 8GB ram.
I have tried to de-select de-interlace option in the output tab as suggested from other forums.
But the strange is when I export from the same timeline and have a clip from the HDV camera the CPU goes up to 100%. Why does not premiere uses 100% the whole time?

Maybe the extra CPU usage is related to the HDV decoding process, which is probably more intensive than PNG decoding... Or, the PNG reader is not multi-threaded at all and this "bottleneck" is slowing down the entire process. ???
Also: Do not check the "deinterlace" box unless you want to deinterlace and even then you should perhaps look for other options. Premiere's deinterlacer is utter garbage.

Low cpu usage when exporting

Is it normal to have only 4-12% of cpu usage when exporting video out of ae? I´m exporting it from render queue.
My computer is 2x dual 3,0 ghz prosessor, 8 gb ram, nvidia 8600 gt in xp professional x64
thanks

As Jonas suggested, CPU utilization may be somewhat low because the bottleneck isn't the processing of the data but moving (reading and writing) it.
I'm not saying that this is necessarily what's going on for you, but it's worth pointing out that the CPU is often not the bottleneck.
If disk I/O is what's slowing you down, one way that you can speed things up is to use three disks for your work: one to run the program from, one to store input assets, and one to write output files to.
There are a lot of tips for improving performance in the
"Improve performance" section of After Effects CS3 Help on the Web.

High CPU usage while running a java program

Hi All,
Need some input regarding one issue I am facing.
I have written a simple JAVA program that lists down all the files and directories under one root directory and then copies/replicates them to another location. I am using java.nio package for copying the files. When I am running the program, everything is working fine. But the process is eating up all the memories and the CPU usage is reaching upto 95-100%. So the whole system is getting slowed down.
Is there any way I can control the CPU usage? I want this program to run silently without affecting the system or its performance.

Hi,
Below is the code snippets I am using,
For listing down files/directories:
        static void Process(File aFile, File aFile2) {
          spc_count++;
          String spcs = "";
          for (int i = 0; i < spc_count; i++)
          spcs += "-";
          if(aFile.isFile()) {
               System.out.println(spcs + "[FILE] " + aFile2.toURI().relativize(aFile.toURI()).getPath());
               String newFile = dest + aFile2.toURI().relativize(aFile.toURI()).getPath();
               File nf = new File(newFile);
               try {
                    FileCopy.copyFile(aFile ,nf);
               } catch (IOException ex) {
                    Logger.getLogger(ContentList.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
          } else if (aFile.isDirectory()) {
               //System.out.println(spcs + "[DIR] " + aFile2.toURI().relativize(aFile.toURI()).getPath());
               String newDir = dest + aFile2.toURI().relativize(aFile.toURI()).getPath();
               File nd = new File(newDir);
               nd.mkdir();
               File[] listOfFiles = aFile.listFiles();
               if(listOfFiles!=null) {
                    for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++)
                         Process(listOfFiles, aFile2);
               } else {
                    System.out.println(spcs + " [ACCESS DENIED]");
          spc_count--;
for copying files/directories:public static void copyFile(File in, File out)
throws IOException {
FileChannel inChannel = new
FileInputStream(in).getChannel();
FileChannel outChannel = new
FileOutputStream(out).getChannel();
try {
inChannel.transferTo(0, inChannel.size(),
outChannel);
catch (IOException e) {
throw e;
finally {
if (inChannel != null) inChannel.close();
if (outChannel != null) outChannel.close();
Please let me know if any better approach is there. But as I already said, currently it's eating up the whole memory.
Thanks in advance.

Timed loop and CPU usage

Platform is WIN_XP Pro and machine is a P4 at 2.5Ghz with 512 Mb ram.
LV7.1 + PCI 6229
I am using 50ms Timed loop for running a state machine inside it
and also a whole lot of other things like reading / writing
DAQMx functions; file I/O functions and such. As the
project involves a main and sub-panlel set up local variables
could not be elimnated fully and there should be something like 150 of
them. But not all are accessed always - maybe about 15 of them at any
given time depending on the SM staus.
Problem :
Once started the "Finished late" indication is off and
the actual timing alternates between 49 to 52 ms. The CPU
usage is around 25%.
But as time goes by, the system gets unstable : After 15 minutes
or so, the Finished Late indication is always ON and the CPU usage is
gradually tending towards or exceeds 100%.
Obviously the machine control timing now gets affected and things slow
down badly. Closing the application ands restarting repeats the above
cycle.
I am at a loss to understand what is happening ? WIll
breaking down the single Timed Loop to multiple ones help ? WIll
that be an efficient way of parallel threading ?
I can post the code but its quite large and will do it as a last resort.
thanks

Hello,
It sounds like an interesting problem. It would be worth some experimentation to figure out what's going wrong - attempting to decouple major "pieces" of the code would be helpful. For example, you could try breaking your code into multiple loops if that makes sense in your architecture, but perhaps you could even eliminate all but one of the loops to begin with, and see if you can correlate the problem to the code in just one of your loops.
Another concern is that you mention using many local variables. Variable read operations cause new buffer allocations, so if you're passing arrays around that way, you could be hitting a problem of forcing your machine to perform many allocations and deallocations of memory. As arrays grow, this can be a bigger and bigger problem. You can use other techniques for passing data around your block diagram, such as dataflow if possible (just simple wires), or queues where dataflow can't dicatate program flow completely.
Hopefully looking into your code with the above considerations will lead you in the right direction. In your case, removing code so that you can identify which elements are causing the problem should help significantly.

Which Is the Best App to Show CPU Usage by App?

ActMonitor by Aeonika ($.99) and System Activity Monitor by Recession Applications LLC ($1.99) are the 2 activity monitors with 5 star ratings. However, the info available for each in the App Store and their websites failed to show whether either measured each open and background apps CPU usage individually.
Knowing that info is the only way we'll get to the bottom of iOS 7.1's higher battery usage.
Does anyone know of a CPU usage monitor that does give us individual app CPU usage?

Firefox is eating up between 90% CPU usage to %230 CPU usage, while on a text-only page. I've tried many of the fixits. They didn't work. What can I do?

I've cleared cookies multiple times
I've emptied the cache
I cleared my download history, and a majority of my browsing history
I've tried having hardware acceleration for both flash and firefox on and off
I turned off all my apps and plugins and when that did nothing I turned back on the ones I need. I never had a lot of apps to begin with. only a max of 5. I had quite a few plugins, but i disabled all but quicktime, flash, and silverlight. I have those three set on "ask to activate" so none are "always active" anymore.
I also tried a couple things from the FAQ and forums here about changing a few settings in the "about:config" setup.
A few of the above things initially worked, but after a day or two it'd be back to sucking up my CPU and memory. I would then try the same thing again, and this second time there would be no improvement.
The real memory will fluctuate between 200 MB and 1.7 GB, and has done so for quite a while.
Even after I've left streaming sites, and sites with lots of images, and I'm not downloading anything, the memory and the CPU will still do that. I only have a handful of tabs open at a timeusually, and all of them are mostly text. I'll quit and reopen firefox, which will initially bring the memory and CPU usage down, but it inevitably climbs up quite quickly, regardless of my tab usage. It'll be the same if I'm playing a flash game or scrolling through blogs.
I never had any of these problems with Firefox 23, and my internet usage habits haven't changed at all. I had some of this slowness a few times with version 24, but nowhere near as bad as this, or as constant. Almost everyday I end up googling for other ways to speed things up. Everything I do never slowed down Firefox on earlier versions.
I've tried all my usual tasks on Safari which will never climb above 30-40 MB of memory, even on netflix streaming, or flash games, and the CPU will average around 8 and 11%.

i'm also having major CPU problems w/ FF 29.0.1. when i restart the app it calms down again but after loading tabs it steadily climbs up to 100% after not too long. i have checked out the 2 CPU links/articles above and do all the basic troubleshooting and tips, but with all the FF tools & add-ons isn't there some sort of CPU monitor that has the ability to display which extensions/scripts are hogging the CPU? Activity Monitor on Mac just shows the total used by the app. it's impossible in my case to efficiently disable dozens of add-ons & scripts, restart, and test each one by one b/c it can take several hrs before the CPU starts to spike high again. i have no time for this.
thanks

Problem with paintComponent, and CPU usage

Hi,
I had the weirdest problem when one of my JDialogs would open. Inside the JDialog, I have a JPanel, with this paintComponent method:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Color old = g.getColor();
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawString("TEXT", 150, 15);
g.setColor(old);
parent.repaint();
now when this method is called, the CPU usage would be at about 99%. If i took out the line:
parent.repaint();
the CPU usage would drop to normal. parent is just a reference to the Jdialog that this panel lies in.
Anyone have any ideas on why this occurs?
Thanks!

1) I never got a stack overflow, and i have had this in my code for quite sometime...If you called paint() or paintComponent(), I'm betting that you would see a stack overflow. The way I understand it, since you are calling repaint(), all you are doing is notifying the repaint manager that the component needs to be repainted at the next available time, not calling a paint method directly. good article on how painting is done : http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/painting/index.html#mgr
2) If this is the case, and the two keep asking eachother to paint over and over, .....
see above answer

Problem with memory usage and CPU usage

Hello,
i have a problem with the memory usage and cpu usage in my project!
My application must run for more than 24 hrs. The problem is that the longer it runs the bigger is the memory and cpu usage!
It starts with ~15% CPU usage and ~70 MBytes memory usage. After ~ 24hrs the CPU usage is ~60% and the memory usage is ~170 MBytes!
After 3 days the CPU usage is almost about 70% and the memory usage is about 360 MBytes!
What can I do to reduce this huge recource usage?
Thank you!

Hi Pahe,
   I think the issue is memory usage, since CPU usage can increase due to greater memory requirements.
   Anyway, it's difficult to debug without seeing your code, can you post it (possibly for LV 7.1 compatibility)? Or just post a JPEG of the piece of code that can give problems...
   I guess you're appending data to an array instead of replace data elements, but I can't be sure...
   Have a nice day!

Config Manager Agent - after Hardware Inventory High CPU Usage with WMIPRSVE and very fast empty Battery

Hi there,
since a few days there is on some machines (40-60) a high cpu usage on one core (quad core cpu machines) with the WMIPRSVE.EXE if the HARDWARE INVENTORY CYCLE started.
i try out some tests, read some forum articles and troubleshooting the WMI management but a real problem i doesn´t see.
in some articles i read that hardware inventory runs about minutes up to more hours but some machines runs longer, someone more as 1 day.
here an example of mine PC:
at 8:07 i started Hardware Inventory Cycle, in the InventoryAgent.log i can see that some Collection Namespace are captured.
after a few minutes there stopped and does nothing round about 5.9 hours or better, after 21436.097 Seconds.
For any hints i am grateful. :)

Looks like something in one or both of those wmi queries. it goes from 8:10:03 to 14:06:43 right around there. 6 hours to do that...
try running those queries from wbemtest manually; and see which one just never finishes.

Macbook Air running extremely slow - kernel_task at 300% cpu usage

I purchased my Macbook Air roughly 15 months ago and it's performance has constantly been impressive since I purchased it - until roughly a fortnight ago. I came home from work one afternoon and it was running at a snails pace. I had recently upgraded to Yosemite though I'm unsure if this had anything to do with it. I had also recently installed FitBit software to sync to my new FitBit flex.
It has continued to run in this manner constantly since the problem began. It is ridiculously slow, every single request takes a very long time to respond. Logging in takes forever. When I click on an app to open it, the icon bounces for 30 seconds or more, and it's not a smooth bounce either, it's quite a jagged bounce!
I'm hoping someone is able to provide some advice, guidance or help. The laptop is no longer covered by the 12 month Manufacturer Warranty, and I did not purchase an Apple Care plan as no Apple product I've owned before has experienced issues like this.
This whole experience is killing me! I'm suspecting hardware failure and I'm just so sad that this could happen to the laptop I've loved so much since I bought it!
The problem:
The kernel_task process is constantly running at 300% or higher cpu usage, with Activity Monitor indicating the processor is being maxed out by a system task. Also, the laptop's fan is constantly running at full capacity - from the moment the laptop turns on, or wakes up.
What I think the problem might be:
As a result of many, many Google searches, it appears that this behaviour may be due to the Macbook Air thinking it is overheating - and I will clarify here that it certainly is not. It is cool to touch, always, when this problem occurs. (yet the fan is almost taking off!). As a result of the MacBook Air thinking it's overheating, it not only is running the fan at a very high RPM (confirmed with iStat), but it also is intentionally choking the system with 'simple requests' in attempt to cool the computer down. Apparently this is a built-in feature of OS X. The kernel has priority over user tasks, causing all user tasks to be granted a lower priority, causing the computer to run INCREDIBLY SLOW. Even as I'm typing this, I'm about two sentences ahead of what is showing on the screen!
Steps I have taken:
- Read widely across the internet with every possible relevant search term I can think of
- Downloaded iStat to see if any of the temperatures are too high (they all seemed fine..)
- Disabled Bluetooth and Wifi. (no change)
- Reset SMC (multiple times.., no change)
- Reset PRAM (multiple times.., no change)
- Drained the battery completely (2 or 3 times, no change)
- Install Windows 7 on BootCamp in attempt to bypass the issue (CPU usage was 100% constantly in Windows also)
- Uninstalled FitBit software (no change..)
- Uninstalled other software I did not need (no change..)
- Attempt to boot into Safe Mode / Recovery Mode (even in this modes, the same thing is happening)
- Repaired Disk Permissions
- Backed up all personal data
- Used the built-in Internet Recovery mode to format my Macintosh HD and re-install a fresh copy of OS X (Mountain Lion). (no change…)
- Re-upgrade to Yosemite (no change..)
I've downloaded EtreCheck and here is the output:
Problem description:
OS X is running incredibly slow. kernel_task process is constantly using 300% and upward CPU usage.

Hi,
I have an update so I thought I would share in case any other users are experiencing a similar problem.
I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
I went in and they ran a thorough diagnostic check on my Macbook Air and determined that the sensors were indeed faulty - several were providing no information "No reading" instead of providing a temperature. Thus, the Air was unaware of the temperature across multiple components.
Despite the laptop being outside the 12 Month Manufacturer Warranty, the Apple Store determined that it was covered under warranty through Australian Consumer Law - the laptop is now in for a complete repair under warranty at no cost to myself.
I couldn't be happier.

Google Earth Plugin and LabVIEW: High CPU usage when adding placemarks

Hi,
I posted this question on stackoverflow earlier this week but feel it might be better suited to the LabVIEW community specifically so I'm reposting here:
I'm writing an application which uses the Google Earth Plugin to display events on the globe. Each event is a single point kml placemark with an icon which is a 3kb png file. Placemarks are uploaded to the plugin as they are received by the software. I am experiencing increasing CPU usage with the number of placemarks that are added.
I have tested displaying a new placemark every second and running until the software running the plugin completely froze (graph attached). The GEPlugin (green trace) stopped responding (i.e. the globe did not respond to the mouse) at around 1200 placemarks added and CPU usage was at ~30%. When the software itself (red trace) froze the plugin was using around 50% CPU and ~3700 placemarks had been added). After the freeze, no new placemarks were added which caused the software to respond (but not the plugin) so I could clear all the placemarks. After the placemarks were cleared from the globe, the CPU usage of the plugin returned to around 5% CPU.
So what I've seen is that GEPlugin CPU usage increases linearly with each kml placemark added. Is this the expected behaviour/ a normal limitation of the plugin? If not is there a more efficient way of adding many placemarks to the globe?
I am using GEPlugin version 7.1.1.1580 (API version 1.010) and LabVIEW 12.0f3
Please see the test results attached. Any input greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I have had a look at your graphs and understood what you are trying to do. To me it seems that as the image gets more complex it gets harde to render which wold likely cause increase in CPU usage resulting in the freeze. I would suggest you try running the program on anoher computer to check on the RAM front of things. If this is a limitation of the GE Plugin then unfortunately I can not do much to help, but if you think this is a problem coming from your LabVIEW code then you can post your code here and I can take a look.

CPU usage when 5 tabs are open and all idling is 35% of 38% total and fan active alot

It seems to me in the last week or so, Firefox has been consuming alot of CPU cycles. This is when my laptop is idling. I know because I monitor by looking at the taskmgr. I see that it takes up 80-90% of the CPU which show as high as 35-40%.

Hi a few days ago I had thought to post it, I have the same computer as the teammatebut a GTX460 @ 4.7 and MPE using colorful II if I use my video in the timeline onlystutters, and a cpu usage of 30 %.
This is normal?
I have two discs, one for OS and one for the project, and the preview footage files.
discs can be problems?
