I recently started using a couple MVP's, and they're great. However, I run into a problem that I can't find a way to cure.
I've been noticing a stutter while watching movies on the gbpvr PC and have finally tracked it down. When either MVP is turned on but not being used, every five seconds on the PC one of the MVP services spikes the CPU. It doesn't seem to hit it too hard, anywhere from 35-42% utilization, but it definitely introduces a noticable and irritating stutter in the video playback on the host PC (sound is fine). The strange thing is that my CPU utilitization during playback only uses about 25-30% of the CPU, so it would seem that the two running together shouldn't have a problem since it still doesn't get anywhere near 100%. But it also doesn't seem like the service should use anything like that much CPU when it's not doing anything either other than, I assume, polling for input. If I turn the MVPs off, the periodic CPU spike disappears.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Sub, is there any chance that the MVP service isn't yielding like it should and so holding on to the CPU just a tad more than it should?
Thanks,
Tim
