So I'm running my BI (4.0.1.1x64) on my i7 (4770) with 32GB of ram. My brother is running his same version on an i7 (4770R) with 16GB of ram.
Both systems are naked and headless - with no other applications, and no monitors connected.
My system has about 30 cameras - all of them running a 1280x720 h.264 (the majority are Hikvision).
My brother's system has 18 cameras - all of them 1280x720 h264 with 6 of them Hikvision.
His CPU usage is between 2% and 8%. It never crosses above 10% - even on windy days. He's set up to use h264 BVR encoding.
I've duplicated his settings, and even dropped down to 18 cameras, and I can't get below 40%.
When I have all 30 on, I'm running around 80%, with wind (or night time rain driving it to 100%). To avoid that, I've started using D2D, which keeps it about 60% independent of rain/wind.
Still, I can't help but wonder what it is about his system that is keeping his CPU so low, I'd even question whether he's running BI at all...
In fact, early on, I had similar experiences where I was hovering around 10 to 15% CPU with 25 cameras. I even took screen shots and sent them to my brother and father to brag about the low CPU. But I simply can't get there from here any more.
