how to reduce CPU load

Post by rblack » Fri Jul 17, 2015 11:41 am

Hi all,

i have upgraded my macro scheduler from 11 to the newest one (14.2.03) and now i have serious problems with cpu loads.

even when the script is just waiting with a command

wait>30

macro sheduller takes 50% of the CPU. What is happenning?

also with image recognition there is such high CPU consumption, that my virtual machines are breaking the ESXI host...

is there any setting option to limit MS CPU usage to 10% ??

nvm it was causet by multi-threading problems with windows xp guest OS. The number of CPUs must be equivalent to physical CPUs numbers.

i.e. in quad core you see 8 CPUs but the number of sockets you need to provide to virtualmachine must be 2, otherwise there will be CPU overload problems.
