[Avid-L2] OT: MC and Activity Monitor

 

I was looking at a system running MC 6.0.1.1 on a 2.2 GHz i7 MBP with 8
Gigs of RAM playing DNxHD220 files through a Sonnet Tempo Pro esata
card.

Out of curiosity I opened up Activity monitor. When I played a clip on
the source side (not a sequence, just a source clip) the CPU use shot up
to 89% and then down to the about 80%.

Meanwhile the graphic at the bottom rolled along showing about a 5% user
CPU level.

I tried a similar test on a Mac Tower and got the same kind of reading.

Is MC really using almost 90% of the CPU to playback DNxHD 220?

Why are the readings not reflected in the Activity monitor graphic?
