CPU load

Windows 7 64b

Mumble 1.2.2

DualCore Intel Pentium D 925, 3000 MHz

Mumble eat ~10% CPU, turning off overlay dont make any difference :?

The load looks okay. The Pentuim D 925 is an old design and mumble does some processing to produce clear and nice sounds.

Is the load when the program is idle, or when you are talking on a channel with multiple users at ones?

In more detail: Even when idle and muted / deafened, mumble will consume CPU for it’s noise filter so that when you do start talking again it can differentiate with how noisy the background is atm and clearly make out your voice.

More info on when you experience and think this is a problem would indeed be good …

ok guys, i made some experiments

CPU load is 8-10% when idle and muted/deafened. when speaking/hearing load is about 10-14% and peaks up to 18

We playing Arma 2, which is really CPU-hitting so any help will be appreciated :)

You could try to disable some features of mumble. Go to the configuration and un-check the following and see if it has any impact on your CPU load.

- In Audio Output disable Positional Audio by un-checking the box. This will reduce some computations in the sound stream.

- In Plugins disable the plugins completely by un-checking the the first box saying "Link to game and transmit position". This will stop mumble from probing your system memory for supported game. And also stop peaking into the memory of the game, when it is supported.

- In overlay un-check the "enable Overlay" box. This will remove some memory swapping in the video memory done by the CPU.
