Hi All,

I recently purchased the InfillG4 and loaded CF 1.20.

When i heard about 1.30 supporting Radio and Tilt / Brightness functions i upgraded to the new version. The upgrade was very easy.

Problems i have been experiencing is very high CPU usage.

At the moment for example i have centrafuse open and listening to radio. My cpu is sitting at 95%+ , i am running Sysinternals Process Viewer and i can see the System Process (not System Idle) is using 50%+ and DPCs (Defered Procedure Calls) is around 40%. The are a few small utils (ie: Wireless Driver) using a few % also.

Basically, problem is when using GPS and listening to radio things go downhill very quickly.. the CPU will stay at 100% and voice instructions from GPS are like T-t-t-t-ttuuuurn Lllllllllllllleeeeeeeeffffffffftttttttttt.

I have noticed if i dont listen to Media or Radio and have centrafuse idle the CPU is less than 50%.

I have completed all Windows Updates and updated every driver i can find.

I have a USB hub attached to the InfillG4 which connects a Logitch Cam , Belkin USB Wireless , Engine Management System and Bluetooth USB.

I have disconnected each of these individually and the hub itself and while there is a minor improvement (maybe 5%) i am satisfied its not the USB equipment.

If i close Centrafuse and play an MP3 in windows media player i have the same issue, CPU jumps to close to 100%.

My guess is its a Audio Driver / Codec issue, however after countless hours no luck sorting it out.

I have also reloaded Windows XP Home and Centrafuse several times but i get the same results.

Has anyone else had similar issues?

Thanks
