Argus high cpu usage streaming cameras

Hi ShaneCCC,

Do you have any ideas for why I see higher usage than you do? Your reported usage is roughly 11.4% per camera. Mine is 18% per camera.

As another reference, I created a program that gets the raw bg12 data using v4l2 and does a linear demosaic on the CPU. With the cameras running at 1824x940 @ 30fps this app uses 7% per camera. That’s less than half what Argus does per camera.

Still very curious what it is the SCF_Execution and CaptureSchedule threads are doing to cause so much CPU load. Has Nvidia spent much time optimizing that code or profiling it? If that code is publicly available I can look into this myself, but guessing it’s not.
