Topic: VDJ/Vista Typical CPU Usage

由于该帖子已年深日久，可能包含陈旧过时或描述错误的信息。

All-

Recently purchased my HP 2500z tablet and would like to compare it's performance vs other similar systems.

# Genuine Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 (32/64-bit, Testing both)
# AMD Turion(TM) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM-80 (2.1 GHz)
# 12.1" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800) w/Integrated Touch-screen
# 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
# ATI Radeon(TM) HD 3200 Graphics
# HP Imprint Finish (Echo) + Microphone + Webcam + Fingerprint Reader
# Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth
# SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
# 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

My main concern is typical CPU usage of the vdj.exe executable. It seems to run a bit higher in Vista than my production system, which is running on Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Sitting idle, VDJ is utilizing ~8% CPU. Playing audio-only via AutoMix is ~9-10%.

Is this high/low or within acceptable limits?

I see the same thing in my new dell vista backup laptop. The cpu seems to be running at 30-40% all the time with the key/master tempo turned OFF
 
Did u guys make sure that Vista is running on Both cores.
Start, type msconfig in the searchbar
Select Boot
Properties
Put a check in the box # of Processors and select 2
Next to that box put a check in max ram and set it to the amount of ram u have.

Interesting, but that option for processors in msconfig edits the "/numproc" option in the boot.ini file.

Quote :
/numproc=number
This switch sets the number of processors that Windows will run at startup. With this switch, you can force a multiprocessor system to use only the quantity of processors (number) that you specify. This switch can help you troubleshoot performance problems and defective CPUs.


By default once the vista has booted all cores are utilised. You'll see this if you go to the performance tab in task manager - you'll see the cores in the "CPU Usage History" pane, and you'll see them being used :)

My Vista Acer gig laptop, now I've tweak around with it idles at around 1%-2%, when loading a mp3 file it can reach 53%.

Whilst playing and mixing (mp3 files only) it normally around the 8% mark, when I use a visual effect, like the clipbank it can push it over 10%.

I'm very happy with these results now, I've only tried video once or twice, so I can't really say what the CPU usage was, I must try it again and see.
 
anyone have a good list of VDJ (or just general) tweaks for vista?? It's my first Vista machine
 

Have a look at this. It's a good general tweaking guide for Vista, it also has descriptions of the different services with in Vista and recommended settings.

But please take care. I looked at one service at a time.

Based on this guide, I was able to clean up a lot of unnecessary system resources. VDJ is now averaging ~5% when playing audio from AutoMix. I have yet to drop some video performance stats, but this is still a 5-6% increase from my previous post.

Note: I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit (since I have 4GB RAM and like using it all)

Are others finding similar numbers on the 32-bit versions?

My dell XPS M1330 barely lights the scale unless i load a long video file.

Intel core 2 duo 2.6gig
4 gig ram
320 HDD
nividia video card

Had a dell inspiron with an AMD Processor it was a total waste of money, buy intel for audio use.
