On my new computer (i7-7820HQ processor) Podium suffered audio dropouts due to high CPU usage every few seconds. I found posts concerning bad performance due to CPU issues where it was mentioned that the way multicore processing is handled might lead to problems.
On my computer I tried altering different CPU settings until I found out that with Hyperthreading disabled, Podium performs a lot better. Maybe this should be addressed in a future update (I don’t know if Podium can benefit from hyperthreading but at least it could be fixed so that performance does not get worse…)
These are the posts I was referring to earlier:
bad performance with enabled plugin multiprocessing
100% CPU usage on Podium (x64)
Performance Indicator flashes red, although plugin multiprocessing is enabled
