This is a very unique problem. -Initiate a real time analysis program operating at .2 Hz. -Real time program becomes unresponsive /lags about 20-30 sec in between actions. -The performance monitor indicates that one of the cores is running near 100% -The performance monitor also indicates that the memory is running at low usage - All other programs to include windows are responsive and have no lags. *If the real time analysis is operating at a rate above 1Hz , it runs just fine and the CPU for all cores are low and equal. *If I run multiple programs first and then start the analysis program, then the analysis program runs just fine at our desired rate of .2 Hz.
