v1.5 and CPU usage/efficiency

This evening I updated the driver and software to v1.5 and then updated the firmware to v1.10. I then opened up a song that I've been working on the past few days. WOW! The CPU cycle usage is 1/2 of what it was before running v1.4, and the old firmware. This is a MAJOR difference!

I now see my Diva instances (three) actually using the other cores (multi-threading option turned on inside Diva). No more audio glitches from the CPU spiking or dropouts! Completely smooth and responsive playback.

I think Akai has done some serious code cleanup with this iteration. Im wondering if they did something with hyper-threading or multi-core in this build?

Anyone else noticing less CPU usage with songs they previous had been working on?

Mac i7 2.0Ghz Quad-Core running 10.7.5

Wow thats really awesome to hear. So DIVA has code to use the other processors built in? Crazy

Yea, but even when I had 'multi-threading' turned on inside Diva (when using MPC v1.4), it never seemed to take advantage of the other cores... Not sure why I've seen such a dramatic decrease in CPU use. The only thing that has changed is the MPC software/firmware.

In MPC 1.4 when i turned multi-thread inside Diva, it was doing nothing.

I gotta admit that after reading your topic i tried to turn multi thread mode inside Diva within 1.5 and...my CPU usage is now super low.

That sounds awesome but i wanna give it some more tries before jumping into conclusions because some patch are eating different amounts of CPU.

I was running 3 instances of Diva: two using 'great' and one using 'draft'. The CPU is sitting at 1/4 lights on the REN. There is no imaging that the performance is substantially better.
