High CPU Usage X8

[TheKitchenAbode]

Was noticing some lag and slower than normal Raytracing. Checked my resource monitor and X8 even under idle (no workload) was utilizing 12%-14% of available CPU. See attached screenshot for Resource Monitor details.

 

Anyone else noticing this?

Just checked the new machine, layout and two plans, two elevations and one perspective open in CA-zero at idle. - at idle is zero.

Hi Mark - That's how it should be. All of my other programs are at 0% when idle, it's just Chief and possibly something to do with this particular plan I'm working on. Been working with this plan for about 4 hours, it's still stuck at 12% and won't budge. Noticed this being slow a few days ago, will have to think back to understand what I was doing that triggered this.

I get a zero in X8 on my machine after it starts up.

Thanks David - It's really looking like something in my plan. Will try to track it down a bit later once I get this finished off.

Still working on this. Here is another Resouce Monitor screenshot. For some odd reason when I activate a Raytrace one or more background services starts to run. In this case they are eating up 25% of my CPU. Sometimes it's the WMI Adapter Service or something else, seems to be no rhyme or reason. When I stop the Raytrace they all go back to Zero.
