Any way to get CPU (idle) usage down?
Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2021 1:00 am
I just compared the same project (same plugins) - Reaper vs. LMMS. I found some interesting results. The ZynAddSubFX instruments were in perfect tune with LMMS but not necessarily with Reaper, where two of such sounded weak and off-key.
However, Reaper's CPU usage at idle was about 5% while LMMS was about 14% (WiFi shut off). I find when I'm doing stuff with LMMS, this can put a strain on my humble i3 CPU (with 8GB ram). But I like so many things about LMMS, and I'm finally getting the hang of how it works!
Are there any settings I could tweak in LMMS to get the CPU (at idle) down?
