[linux-audio-dev] TiMidity as a CPU hog

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  Can someone explain why TiMidity eventually hogs the CPU at 95% or 
more after running for a while (like  12 hours or more) ? I'm talking 
about hogging the chip while TiMidity is idling, not playing. I'm using 
it as a softsynth, it works well, but even in the latest version its CPU 
usage just soars. Here's how I'm invoking 2.13.0 :

    timidity -iA -B2,8 -c /home/dlphilp/timidity.cfg -A100 -Oj 
-EFreverb=0 -EFchorus=0

  Takashi: Obviously I spoke too soon in my earlier message. I just 
looked at top again and saw that TiMidity was eating up 96% of the CPU. :(

Best,
