LTR-48125w sudden increase in CPU usage
Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 1:33 pm
Greetings All,
I was wondering if any of you could explain why my LTR-48125w (most recent firmware) drive (CDRW) would suddenly start using more cpu? Also when I do a burn the leadin and leadout time has greatly increased. I am using XP Pro Sp1 and yes the drive is set to DMA. Windows reports that it is using UDMA 2. I have this drive as a slave to my Asus 52x. This drive is OK. The CD I used to test with was made by the drive using CDSpeed data test.
The rest of my system include:
K7T Turbo2 v5
VIA Chipset - most recent drivers installed
True power 330
Matrox g450
512 pc133
Here is what CDSpeed reports:
Seek Times
Random 1873 ms
1/3 2011 ms
Full 2728 ms
CPU Usage
1X 36 %
2X 28 %
4X 63 %
8X 100 %
Thanks for your help
Dave
