Same Problem Here

I am new to this and just downloaded your program today to try. Now granted I am not using anything top of the line, I still think it is an issue.

When I launch the program it is constantly running above 60% CPU utilization and using about 95MB of memory (that alone is crazy) when I am using the MCE skin and then 70+% utilization and 140+MB of ram when using the default one. If I minimize it to the system tray it's utilization goes down to 0% and 4MB, but the instant I open it it goes to 60+% 90MB +.

Now I downloaded this for a feasibility test. The machine I have is a 2.8GHZ and I am only using the built in nVidia video card and do not have a tuner installed or configured. I guess that could be part of the problem, but I downloaded it and installed it on a much lower quality laptop earlier and it ran acceptably.

    Your memory usage is normal (most of it is caused by skin graphics). What onboard video card you are having? Maybe it's just not playing well with DX9.

    My video card is an nVidia Vanta. I installed it on another machine I have here that has a Geforce 3 32MB card and do not experience the "stutter" issue.
