What I have found most odd for years now lol, is with all this cpu usage, the software interface is laggy and phenomenally slow to respond. To be quite honest, it is approaching what any user would consider unacceptable.
What I mean is this: I have the iCue open right now. Firstly is takes 15 seconds just to load from the tray to the screen LOLOLOL. Then, any single thing I click on within the program takes 1 sec to 3 sec to respond to.
This is like 1998 level of interface lag. I could accept this if the user was on a 800 mhz pentium celeron from the 90s lol with ram running at 166 mhz. .... ... ......
...but it is almost 2021, I have an 8 core FX-9590 at 4.2~4.8 Ghz each core and 24Gb of Corsair Dom. Pro 2133 Mhz on a Asus FX990 board, all software runs from a Samsung 960 Evo Pro M2 NVME drive. Every other piece of software, Windows, and video games respond instantly, as they should.
If such a small program needs to eat 1%-5% of system resources of high end ( though last generation) system just to keep the fans at a static % and keep the LED's pink, then the least it could do is respond without lag.
The old Link software had this lag also. It's not a deal breaker, just very odd when it is the only current piece of software I have that lags. It's not even in "unicorn dance party" mode haha. Just a solid color and fans at 40%.
