Export Backup takes 90% CPU Usage

hi Gurus,
We have export backup scheduled on PROD database. We have noticed that export backup consumes alot of CPU usage.
Database: Release 9.2.0.6
CPU usage: Around 90% TO 95% during backup activity
Backup last for around 20min
Script file_

Restrict Backups to Low CPU Usage Times

I have been doing some pretty CPU intensive work lately, a lot of it in iTunes. I'm seeing the spinning beachball quite a bit when doing these tasks. To make it worse, Time Machine often picks these times to do a backup. I usually just end up canceling it.
Is there any way to set Time Machine to only do its backups at time CPU usage is below a certain threshold? If not, there's an option for a future release.
Thanks.
Tony

Hi Dave
Don't know if You know about the computer stonage. When You could set a
CPU to do just one task. Not so any more.
Mac computers are realy UNIX ditos. So they behave likvise.
To get it to work with better speed one has to get it from doing meaningless
tasks. This by giving it so much free space on the internal hard disk so that
it doesn't start virtual memory managment and joggling a lot of temp files.
To run iDVD I set free at least 25Gb free space on my internal hard disk and
run no un-necessary programs in the back-ground like "Screen, Energy-savers"
FileVault etc. incl. ActivityMonitor, Internet and other needless activities.
Ps. Activity Monitor - lies when running under iDVD and says that iDVD doesn't
respond. Let it be and it eventually succeedes with it's task.

Motion 4 export completely takes over CPU

Every time I export from Motion 4 my computer becomes unusable. It doesn't crash, but I can't even switch applications. And when it has finished exporting it never seems to return to normality, and I end up rebooting to start afresh. I don't have this problem while exporting from After Effects, or from Final Cut Pro. These apps might slow things down a bit, but they don't make all other processes grind to a complete halt.
Anyone any idea why this should be, and if there is a solution.
Thanks, KP

Yes, I am using the current project and canvas settings. And yes, it is a 1080p25 project, and I am exporting to ProRes 4444 (with alpha channel). But the point is that, even if it takes time to render, it shouldn't hijack the CPU to do it! I've done exports from a heavily composited After Effects project with all sorts of effects and serious amounts of blur, that takes a minute to render one frame: but I can still work quite happily in other applications (at least, ones that do not themselves require heavy processing).
No, Motion is definitely not set up to play properly with other elements of the operating system.

Itunes takes 100% CPU usage ?

hi;
     recently I updated my iTunes to v10.6.1 and after the update iTunes started taking 50% CPU and another 48% went to AppleMobileDeviceService which made my computer painfully slow.
     i tried to fix the problem by completely uninstalling and reinstalling all of the Apple Inc. software but didn't help.
     can you help me fix this problem also is there any other information I need to provide ?
thank you

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Satellite A200 crashing when moved or when CPU usage is too high

Alright so fairly recently my Toshiba Satellite A200 has started crashing whenever I pick up the laptop or run any processes that take the CPU usage up to around 100%.
This essentially means no 3D rendering or games and no running Photoshop and iTunes at the same time etc. Here's the kicker though, it only happens when the laptop is plugged in and not when on battery power alone. I've already tried using a different AC adapter and I cleaned off the hard drive for a fresh install of Windows 7 neither of which fixed the issue. I even went so far as to update the BIOS.
I am not fairly determined that this is solely a hardware issue but I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to which part may be acting up on me. Like I said it still works like a dream when running on battery power.

hi Cyborg771,
it seems to be related to the ac-in jack..
is there any change or symptom when moving the ac-plug?
also the circuit that is managing the power supply could be the "bad guy"
if the contact to the powerboard isnt good, the circuit starts to check the state every 10ms..this will slow down your machine...
how old is your notebook?
still got warranty on?
a solution may be to solder/fix/change the jack
or see a servicepartner

100% CPU Usage in CS5.5 Premiere Pro during export/encoding

I am wondering why my CPU usage is so high during exporting of my videos. My counter shoots up to 100% as soon as I start and hovers at 95% throughout the whole process. This seems dangerous to me so I wanted to bring it up here as I haven't found anyone with this same issue on this website or google. Here are my system specs:
i5-2400 CPU @3.10GHz
6 GB of Ram
64 bit windows 7
Geforce 660 ti graphics card (2gb)
They aren't top of the line but I feel like it should be capable of encoding. I've cleaned my fans and tried using avi and h.264 formats which both led to the same issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to premiere pro so I'm sure I left some useful information out above.

"...the same results"
This means high CPU usage, right?
Correct
Are your exported media files ok?
I've only completed one because I was freaked out but yes they are fine.
I guess the thing I'm worried about is my temps going up really high because of the 100% usage. I thought that they were both entertwined as in high usage = high temps. I'll look for a temperature program to run while encoding and I'll monitor how high the temps get. You've given me hope here as I may have been making mountains out of mole hills. If the temperatures are high would you recommend more fans in my desktop?

Server 2012R2 Windows backup 100% CPU usage and no backup

Hello!
I have a problem with two VM´s on a HP Proliant ML350p Gen8, that has Windows Server 2012R2 operating system with Hyper-V role installed.
Both VM´s are also 2012R2, one is DC/DNS/FILE/PRINT and the other one is Exchange 2013.
The problem itself is that, when Windows backup (wbengine.exe - Block level backup engine service) inside VM starts, it uses almost maximum CPU resource, so the VM´s CPUs are 100% used. Backup itself is not working, there is no network trafic. Only
way to get rid of 100% CPU usage is to restart the server.
When i start backup manually (Backup once - scheduled backup options), it is working and the CPU usage is around 20-30%.
One VM (DC/DNS/FILE/PRINT) has 2x vCPU and Exchange has 4x vCPU.
The problem started suddenly, the backup were performing slowly and failed.
Backups are scheduled on different time. Host level Hyper-V backup of VM´s works without any problem.
The backup location is Synology DS414 NAS and the servers are set up using iSCSI, for connecting separate backup lun´s for each server.
The Hyper-V host and both VM´s are patched up-to-date. Ofcourse i have tried a lot of restarts, looking event log, VSSADMIN - cannot find any errors...
The network setup:
Hyper-V host has a team of two physical adapters, that is set up with a external virtual switch (shared with management operating system) and used by the VM`s normal network trafic.
Hyper-V host itself is using separte physcial network card, for connecting with iSCSI to Synology NAS.
I tried to set up another physical network card on the host and create a new virtual swich, add extra virtual nic to VM`s and use this for iSCSI traffic for Windows backup and it didnt make things better.
I need to find a solution, because i cannot restart the server every night for the backups to work.

My computer, which is not bad, becomes unuseable now when exporting
Never had this issue with previous version(s).
Also, I had pretty silly GUI lag, which seems to have gone away by turning OFF GPU-acceleration...
Why is this happening??
Everything is running on an SSD.

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.

Having Issues with High CPU Usage with fluxbox & pekwm

Greetings,
I have searched for this issue and it seems that something similar has happened in the past with an old xorg, and it seems that someone is having a similar issue that they can point to kde as being the culrpit. However in my case, this is a fresh install and is not using any kde libs. Please allow me to explain the issue.
The power supply on my main computer finally gave out, and being incredibly poor at the moment I can not yet replace it. So, I pull out an older computer that I had once set up for my kids, but took it away from them when they were abusing it. I always make backup dvds and such monthly so I didn't have to worry about any lose of data, however I desired to keep my larger hard drives from my main computer. After testing to ensure that the hard drives were fine, I did some minor surgery, and did a fresh install of arch linux onto my back up computer. Since I prefer pekwm, I installed pekwm as my wm of choice, and outfitted it quickly with mpd+sonata, firefox, pcmanfm, and tint2. Then I rebooted into my pekwm 'desktop'.
It was running sluggish. Firefox was easily maxing the cpu up and beyond 100% and it felt ten times worse than any heavy DE I used in the past. I checked to make sure I had the right video driver installed. As this computer runs a 64MB nVidia GeForce2 MX with TV out video card, I searched nvidia's page and the arch wiki, noting that the driver needed is nvidia-96xx. Well I had already suspected that during install, and thus had installed such driver. I double checked my xorg.config and it has the right driver listed.
So I checked out some lighter browsers. I tried both Midori and Iron (which is similar to Chrome but without google spyware or whatever). Well both run better than firefox, Midori being the lightest one, but Iron quickly being my favorite. Still, the problem remained. Moving windows caused cpu spikes, opening more than one tab, or more than one program caused cpu spikes and the computer to slow down and sputter, freezing at times.
So I tried out another wm, fluxbos, which is another of my favorites. Seemed somewhat better but only fractionally, which I consider odd because pekwm has always seemed snappier than fluxbox to me in the past. Running lxtask (still mouse dependent, sorry lol), I was able to take note of the following...
FLUXBOX
lxtask 6% CPU usage average
PCManFM 5% CPU Average
Fluxbox 1% to 2% cpu usage
gksu 3% cpu usage
pidgin 3% to 7% cpu usage
firefox up to 62% cpu usage
midori up to 38% cpu usage
iron up to 50% cpu usage
mpd 11% cpu uage
Xorg (with no window movement) 2% cpu usage
Xorg (moving windows around) up to 80% cpu usage
PEKWM
lxtask 6% CPU
pidgin 7% cpu
tint2 1% cpu
pekwm 1% to 5% cpu
pcmanfm 7% cpu
firefox up to 85% cpu
python 1% cpu
midori up to 38% cpu
iron up to 25% cpu (odd...)
Xorg (with no window movement) 1% cpu
Xorg (when moving windows around) up to 80% cpu
Both were using around 118 MB RAm and weren't yet touching swap. As I see it I am thinking xorg or video driver related, yet I already made sure that I had the correct video driver. Here's my Xorg.conf

So what I am wanting help with is finding the solution to the cpu usage so that I can use this computer at least until I can afford a new power supply or whatever. I am open to any good suggestions, though I must state I am not really interested in tiling wm's at the moment. I am just not a true minimalist.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. I understand that there is a lot of info in this post, but it is my hope that with this info the problem can be solved. If there is info I didn't provide that is needed, please let me know.

also check that you have
session.screen0.opaqueMove false
in your .fluxbox/init this will probably help a bit if it is currently true,

Lightroom Mobile Sync - Extremely High CPU Usage/Sync Process Causes LR To Lag

Since my other thread doesn't seem to be getting any responses, I'm pasting what I've found here. Please keep in mind I am not a beginner with Lightroom and consider myself very familiar with Lightroom's features excluding the new mobile sync.
1st message:
I'm on Lr 5.5 and using the 30 day trial of Adobe CC to try syncing one collection of slight more than 1000 images. Despite already having generated the Smart Previews, I can see my CPU crunching through image after image (the rolling hills pattern in the task manager) while doing the sync. I was assuming, since I already created the Smart Previews, that the sync of this collection would begin immediately and be done by simply uploading all of the existing Smart Previews. The Smart Previews folder of the catalog is 871MB and has stayed the same despite the CPU obviously doing *something*. As it is now, the sync progress is incredibly slow, almost at a pace like it's actually exporting full-res JPGs from the RAW images (as a comparison only, I know this should not be what it's actually doing).
Another side effect of this is that I'm basically unable to use my computer for other tasks due to the high CPU utilization.
Win 7 x64 / Lightroom 5.5
Intel i5 2500k OC'd 4.5GHz
16GB RAM
SSD for OS, separate SSD for working catalog and files
2nd message:
As a follow up, now Lightroom thinks all 1026 photos are synced (as shown in "All Sync Photographs" portion of the Catalog though all images after the 832nd image show the sync icon per image stuck at "Building Previews for Lightroom Mobile" and the status at the top left corner has been stuck at "Syncing 194 photos" for over 12 hours. Is there no option to force another sync via Lightroom Desktop and also force the iOS app to manually refresh (perhaps by pulling down on the collections view, like refreshing via the Mail app)?
3rd message:
One more update, I went into Preferences and deleted all mobile data, which automatically signed me out of Adobe CC and then I signed back in. Please keep in mind the Smart Previews were long generated before even starting the trial, and I also manually generated them again (it ran through quickly since it found they were already generated) many times. Now that I'm re-syncing my collection of 1026 images, I can clearly see Lightroom using the CPU to regenerate the Smart Previews which already exist. I have no idea why it's doing this except that it's making the process of uploading the Smart Previews extremely slow. I hope this time around it will at least sync all 1026 images to the cloud.
4th message:
All 1026 images synced just fine and I could run through my culling workflow on the iPad/iPhone perfectly. Now I'm on a new catalog (my current workflow unfortunately uses one catalog per event) and I see the same problem: Smart Previews already generated but when syncing, Lightroom seems to re-generate them again anyway (or take up a lot of CPU simply to upload the existing Smart Previews). Can anyone else chime in on what their CPU utilization is like during the sync process when Smart Previews are already created?
New information:
Now I'm editing a catalog of images that is synced to Lightroom Mobile and notice that my workflow has gotten even slower between photos (relative to what it was before, this is not a discussion about how fast/slow LR should perform). Obviously Lightroom is syncing the edited settings to the cloud, but I can see my CPU running intensively (all 4 cores) on every image I edit and the CPU utilization graph looks different than before I started using LR mobile sync. It still feels like every change isn't simply syncing an SQLite database change but re-generating a Smart Preview to go with it (I'm not saying this is definitely what's happening, but something is intensively using the CPU that wasn't prior to using LR Mobile).
For example: I only update the tint +5 on an image. I see the CPU spike up to around 30-40%, then falls back down, then back up to 100%, then back down to another smaller spike while Lightroom says "Syncing 1 photo". I've attached a screenshot of my CPU graph when doing this edit on just one image. During this entire time, if I try to move onto edit another image, the program is noticeably slower to respond than it was prior to using LR mobile, due to the fact that there appear to be much more CPU intensive tasks running to sync the previous edit. This is proven by un-syncing the collection and immediately the lag goes away.
I'd be happy to test/try anything you have in mind, because it's my understanding that re-syncing photos that are edited that are already in the cloud should be simply updating the database file rather than require regenerating any Smart Previews or other image data. If indeed that's what it should be doing, then some other portion of LR is causing massive CPU usage. If this continues, I will probably not choose to proceed with a subscription despite the fact that i think LR mobile adds a lot of value and boosts my workflow significantly if it wasn't causing the program to lag so badly in the process.
I know this message was incredibly long and probably tedious to read through so thanks in advance to anyone who gets through it
-Jeff

Thanks for reporting. Just passed along your info to some of our devs. One of the things that needs to be created (beside smart previews) during an initial sync are thumbnails + previews for the LrM app - Guido
Hi Guido,
Thanks for pointing this out. I realized the same thing when I tried syncing a collection for offline mode and found out the required space sounded more like Previews + Smart Previews rather than just the Smart Previews.

Hi Jeff, are your images particularly large or do you make a lot of changes which you save to the original file as part of your workflow?
The CPU usage is almost certainly from us uploading JPEG previews not the Smart Previews - particularly during develop edits as these force new JPEG previews to be sent from Lightroom desktop, but would not force new Smart Previews (unless the develop edits are modifying the original file making us think the Smart Preview is out of date) to be sent.
Guido
My images are full-resolution ~22mp Canon 5D Mark III RAW files so they're fairly large. Even if I only make one basic change such as exposure changes, I saw the issue. By "save to the original file" I'm assuming metadata changes such as timestamps, otherwise edits to the images aren't actually written to the original file. I'm only doing develop module edits so I shouldn't be touching the original file at all at this point in my workflow.
I think it makes sense now that you mention that new JPEG previews need to be generated and sent to the cloud due to updated develop edits. My concern is that this seems to be done in real-time as opposed to how Lightroom Desktop works (which is to render a new Standard Preview or 1:1 Preview on demand, which means only one is being rendered at any given time while viewing it in Loupe View or possibly 2 in Compare View). If I edit, for example, 10 images quickly in a row, once the sync kicks in a few seconds later, editing the 11th image is severely hindered due to the previous 10 images' JPEG previews being rendered and sync'd to the cloud (I'm assuming the upload portion doesn't take much CPU, but the JPEG render will utilize CPU resources to the fullest if it can). Rendering Standard/1:1 Previews locally and being able to walk away while the process finishes works because it is at the start of my workflow, but having to deal with on-the-fly preview rendering while I'm editing greatly impacts my ability to edit. Perhaps there can be a way to limit max CPU utilization for background sync tasks?
It may help to know that I'm running a dual-monitor setup, with Lightroom on a 27" 2560x1440 display maximized to fit the display (2nd display not running LR's 2nd monitor). Since I'm using a retina iPad, the optimal Standard Previews resolution should be the same at 2880 pixels.
Thanks again for the help!

10.9.4 excessive CPU usage

And now a strange case...
Installed 10.9.4 but it became unusable because of excessive CPU usage. Reverted back to 10.9.3 but now the problem persists!
Basically, if connect the Ethernet cable the CPU increases and temp raises from 45C to 95C. As soon as I remove the Ethernet cable and stay on WiFi things go back to normal. I already have done the most obvious, i.e. reinstalling the OS from time machine, removing launch daemons and plug-ins, and fixing disk permissions. Check the details below. Any idea? It would be much appreciated. I'm getting nuts with this.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

High CPU Usage With 2.6.32

Hi
Ever since the kernel update my CPU usage has its own will. Would it normally stay under 10%, does it now ad 20% while only moving a window around. (nothing else open) Scrolling up and down got me to 95%! (with firefox 1 tab open/nothing else open) And as you can imagine this is getting annoying. Is there a solution? Someone who could help me?
I have Openbox as a WM. No DE. /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp uses almost always around 5% with tops to 40%.
The problem occurs with my Acer Extensa 5230.
Processor
Intel® Celeron® Processor 900
(1MB L2 cache, 2.20GHz, 800MHz FSB)

Any more information? Logs? Errorfiles?

Hi Klaus1
I have several plug-ins by cfx and the slick volumes 4, 6 8 and 10. I can post a list of all of them if you like. Up to now they never made any trouble, but you'll never know...
The edit in the timeline is about 25 minutes long. But the project file contains captured dv-footage of about 2 hours, so that alone adds up to something like 26 GB. Then there are a few rendered effect-clips done with some of the plug-ins like stabilizing or color correction which also add to the 30 GB, as well as some audio-files (some music, my voice-over commentary). I emptied the trash several times while working on the movie. At this moment there are only a few MB of erased audio in it.
It all sounds a bit like this is an insanely huge and complex project, but as i said, i have done projects like this in imovie without the massive cpu-usage. I'd like to continue to use imovie, but if this problem keeps coming up with future projects, i might as well take the step and switch to Final Cut Express.
For now I will try your idea of exporting the movie as it is now and open it in a new project file.
Thanks for your help and input so far!
