Windows xp sux for cadcam!

Apr 24, 2008 5 Replies

Im trying to regen a couple of ops with cimco and it takes like an hour a piece. So I'm turning things off when I realize my cam system cpu usage is at 50% and my "idleprocesses" is at 50%. WTFFF!!!!



Anybody know how to turn that crap off? Ive seen hacks to force it to run out its tasks, but I cant find one to turn it off.



I even turned the cpu usuage up to real time on the cam, has no effect on idle processes. Stays at 50%. I bet linux isn't so damn greedy!


Sorry windblows my mistake. Seems mastercam 9 uses a max of 50% cpu per session. I wonder if there's a tweak for that?

Doesnt seem to matter. When mastercam is processing toolpath it uses a max of 50% cpu. Sure would be cool to be able to boost that.
