CPU spiking from 3% to 60% when previewing clips,any buttons

[djjoso]

I have a gig coming up in 2 weeks and trying to fix problems.

I am using Live 4.04 and having problems with my CPU spiking from 3% to 60% when clicking on any buttons.

Steps used below

Asio settings as low as 256. Change latency from –300 to 300 and hear no changing with audio.

Created a new set and previewed any clips and still the CPU % jumps from 1% to 60% no red overload light.

PC has been optimized.

Pen 4 2.8 ghz, Maudio 410, 512 ram, Win xp2, 500 gig firewire hd ext, all drivers have been updated.

Any tips? Maybe I need more ram than 512?

do you have deactivied the auto-scroll in the properties ? do it!!!
this little grafik-feature is so cpu-hungry, that should be disabled by deafult!
