Reducing CPU Use?

[PeteCress]

I remote into a certain PC, TeamViewer's percent CPU use is sometimes quite high (as in high twenties/low thirties) and other times quite low (as in single digits to mid teens).

Same PC.... different times.   But I'm guessing that the low figures are right when I first connect and once TV gets up to speed it's going to be the higher fitures.

Is there anything I can do to minimize TeamViewer's CPU use.

The agenda is that the problem PC is an IP camera server and it's verging on being overloaded by the IP camera server software and TeamViewer running with high percentages of CPU push it over the edge so that the video streams become choppy.

Now it's the next day and, on the same remote PC from the same home PC, I see TeamViewer using only about 8 percent of CPU.   Yesterday it was more like thirty percent.

I think the screen showing lots of video that is changing will drive this increased cpu usage

Nice catch.

The screen had a window open that contained a sub-window for each of 4 cameras.

Running in the thirties percent-wise.

Closed the window and it dropped down to single digits.

Re-opened the window and it went back up into the thirties.

Close.... back to single digits.

Re-opened.... thirties.

Slid the portion of the window containing the subwindows down so that the subwindows were off of the desktop and..... you know the rest...

Case Closed.

Thanks!
