Summary0006926: Very Hight anormal DSP load for A5-pre with AMD CPU and graphic
DescriptionComparing A4.7 from kx-repo with A5-pre from nightly build (from yesterday and last week).
Same machine, same system, same hardware (saffire pro40), same jack conf (period3-buffer64- 44.1khz-16bits- 81frames in latency in and out) and session.
CPU option to "all but one".

New Empty session:
A4.7 DSP load:8.5%
A5-pre DSP load: 12%
- -
Load "working session" with calf plugs:
A4.7 DSP load:17%
A5-pre DSP load: 43.5%

And of course, Xruns appears in A5-pre in this conditions.
Ask me by email for more if needed.

I suppose the Ardour 4.7 you got from kx-repo is an optimized one. Did you test Ardour 5.0pre with an optimized build ? There is a big difference between optimized and debug on my system with only 256 period, so I suspect it would make even more a difference with 64...

You're right! with optimized build there is no more problems, DSP load are the same as Ardour 4.7.

DSP overload comes from de -dbg build version.
