[Audacity-devel] Audacity CPU load

[Otto W. <ott...@bl...>]

During my test I discovered that audacity uses about 60% on my machine
just during paused recording. To find out what uses that much power I
simply set a breakpoint in TrackArtist::DrawTracks to disable the
refreshing of the display. Even now audacity uses above 50% CPU. That
means the recording thread uses halve of my machine just for paused
recording. Or are there other threads involved? 

Where is the recording thread, how often is it called? Does PortAudio
use too much power?
