Sounds like the Windows GUI-core bottleneck that was discussed a
while back. I haven't seen this before. Which version of Pd are you
using?

Hi list, So, I'm running a new Pentium D dual core 2.66 ghz Dell. Win XP Pro.

While in PD ( no other sound apps) mouse movement causes the audio
to drop out altogether. The sound resumes to normal when I stop
moving the mouse. A look at the task manager performance monitor reveals the cpu
activity spikes way way up during mouse movement- like 89-90% (whew!). This happens with both asio port audio, and the onboard audio

My Dell laptop ( XP pro ) performs great in PD , both ASIO and
standard audio. The same spike in cpu activity doesnt do a thing to the audio
playback etc

They are running exactly the same screen resolution 1024*768 32bit

I found the method on the PD archives for setting the prioity for
PD to HIGH, and put it into the batch that starts all of my
externals. PD runs normally, loading all libraries as expected, but
the problem persists I adjusted the windows gui to run for optimized performance as well

is it even remotely possible that it needs to be compiled for this
type of processor?

Thanks so much, PD RULES!!!!!!!!!!
