MaxMSP CPU at 103% level without doing nothing !!
Hello,
can someone please help me to understand why the MaxMSP activity is so high (103 % of CPU usage dixit Activity Monitor) without doing anything : even if no patch is loaded .
Can it be a configuration (preferences) issue ?
or may it be due to a very old extensions or externals somewhere in my file preference option ? If yes how can I clean my database up ?
thanks for help
my configuration :
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 3 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
hi,
strandely, i had some trouble with cpu usage these days too (max 5.1.4).
my patch was running randomly fine/heavy cpu (163%), with a "relatively small" jitter patch. no idea what went on...
i use the same config.
g
Max 5.1.3 for mine
I have also Max4Live installed (if that does matter)
no help ?
;-(
well if you can provide a patch here, this could be better.
i personally can't...

Thanks G for your support ,
for now I have disconnected my huge "database" folder in which I think there are very old extensions and externals that are surely disturbing ?
Now the cpu usage of Max/MSP is normally low (around 7%) when nothing is running .
Then I have to check one by one all the packages in that database and I'll find the culprit ;-)
I'll report here if that can help.
thx again
cheers
