Post From: CPU usage on an AppleMacbook PRO

I am trying to reduce the fan speed on my Macbook PRO. I have the latest model (it's an i7) with an SSD & 8 GB of memory. Running Sierra Chart the fans on the Mac are always running full speed. The task manager in windows shows Sierra Chart is using about 26% of the processors (I have tried giving Windows anywhere from 1 to 8 processors. The fan speed stays the same). I’m running El Capitan on the Mac & Windows 7 in Parallels 11. A workaround I came up with a couple months ago what's to have a workspace with no charts. When I would switch to that workspace, Sierra charts dropped to about 5% in CPU usage my Mac could cool off. That was a decent workaround where if I stopped watching the charts I could simply switch to that workspace, and then return to 1 of the other 10 workspaces when I was viewing the charts. Sometime in the last few builds Sierra Chart changed some of the coding and now bringing up the blank workspace doesn't change the processor load. I have been going through these steps but haven’t seen any significant reduction and CPU usage yet: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/helpdetails30.html Can anybody else who has environment running provide any feedback? Is 26% normal? Thanks. Tom Raddemann |
