Hey hey everyone,
for a few months now my jackd1 (0.121.3) takes on a lot of CPU, even with no
clients connected. Admittedly my CPU is down at 800MHz, one core most of the
time.
Normally JACK stays below 2% though.
The kernel is:
3.9.0rc6 SMP PREEMPT (self built)
For some reason I couldn't use JACKD2 - and at the time it wasn't advised
anyway.
Any idea, why this CPU-hunger might creep up? Things to look into? I'd be very
grateful for hints.
Ta-ta,

Are there any connections like system:capture -> system:playback?
Normally JACK stays below 2% though.
If it "builds" over time, is it linear, or is it around 2% for a long time,
and then builds to 90% or so?
It smells a bit of floating point denormal-processing, if its creeping up
after a while of not being used. I don't know if/why JACK is performing
floating ops unless there are buffers that need to be combined...
system cap1 \
system cap2 - system play1
system cap3 /
The above might explain it though - routing multiple inputs to one output.

The above is a "shot in the dark", but as far as I can see it could be a
cause.

No.

I haven't watched it constantly, but it appears
to spontaneously jump or rise quickly. I'll keep a closer eye though.
My system is running 24/7, mostly handling a bit of mail, some audio playing (mpv) and
other menial tasks. CPU scheduling policy is set to constant at either 800MHz single core
- for most of the time - and 3GHz, quadcore, when recording.

Hm, it's a
first thought. We'll see.
Thank you for the quick response!
