[64studio-devel] [Jackit-devel] CPU load reading too high on dual-core and SMP machines?

Hi Kjetil,

> But isn't jamin running the processing in seperate threads?

The sum of the CPU loads (as reported by top) seems to be equivalent to 
the figure reported by jack. The strange behaviour occurs when the sum 
of CPU loads goes above 100%, which we can easily reproduce on a 
dual-core system without maxing out either core.

I should add that we are testing slightly artificial conditions, such as 
running three or four instances of Jamin at once. Surround sound 
mastering, anyone? :-)

Cheers!

Daniel
