All of a sudden Max/MSP is showing 45% CPU usage at idle - literally right after the app is loaded, with no patchers or anything else loaded.

This is as reported by 'top' in a terminal window. Can anyone explain this? It certainly wasn't this high before, and there's no explanation from what I can see.

there was a thread about this not long ago, i kind of remeber it has 
to do with java....

I found the thread and tried getting rid of the java folder as it suggested but it's had no effect. Thanks for the pointer though..

High, lately I have the same problem too.

So, I open even a very simple Sampling patch (seems to be related to Audio), play around, everything cool, CPU usage in the DSP status window is very low, not much maxing going around, Activity monitor reports very low use of Max/MSP.

At a certain point, as enunciated in the problems with Java thread, I get the spike: situation doesn

i've had issues using certain audio driver configurations that cause things like that. i'm not sure if that's what's going on here, but it would be worth looking into.

my problems mainly centered around ASIO configurations on windows that use multiple sound cards...

It appears sometimes, I still didn't understand when.

Just for saying I have the same problem.

I experienced this with poly~. It appears that instances within a poly~ are

born un-muted. I loadbang a mute message on launch and my CPU load goes
