cpu usage

I might be causing my own problem here by insisting on running Windows Server 2016 as my OS for Blue Iris, but alas that is what I have set up. I have been dealing with poor BI performance on my old hardware which was a very old i7-3770K (Ivy Bridge), and I assumed that was the problem. So...
