Running Pipmak Max out my CPU

[chikitin <cs...@gm...>]

Hi,

Pipmak seems to max out my cpu at 100. If I close Pipmak, usage drops to
0-5% normal range. I am running this on hp Paviolion zv6000 ( notebook,
Processor: AMD 64 Processor 3500+ with 1.78 GHz.) with 2 GB ram and Windows
XP pro with SP3. 


Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Looks like the vsync doesn't work properly with your graphics  
hardware. Unless you deliberately disabled vsync using some kind of  
OpenGL driver override setting, I don't think there's anything you can  
do about this. I've always wanted to introduce additional throttling  
for that case (clamp the frame rate to 120 FPS or something), but  
never got around to it. For reference, what's the graphics hardware on  
that system?

Thanks for the report

It is an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200m integrated graphic card. It is not the best
card for games. It runs the old games flawlessly. It is known that the ATI
RS480 chipset has a bad USB 2.0 transfer rate.

By "max out", do you mean slows down your system immensely?  On my system 
(Linux) Pipmak seems to use all unused CPU time, but not at the cost of other 
processes.

By Max out to 100%. I mean pipmak take the full control of my CPU. I hardly
can edit the node files with my text editor.  The CPU usage of the task bar
of my windows show 100% when i run pipmak. even when there is not game
loaded into pipmak. Attacked you will find the screenshot for the CPU usage.
Notice also the flat horizonal line at the top of the CPU Usage History.
