ExHUI process (Euphonix?) driving CPU nuts

Melgueil · 27th November 2011

Lately I have been trying to optimize my MBA that I am demoing. I noticed very hot CPU (and consequent fan noise. The culprit it seems is a process called ExHUI. As soon as this process is "killed" the CPU temp goes right back down and the fans stop. I am talking a CPU Temp drop of 30 degrees Celsius !

The worst part is that it seems that the Eucon software depends on it. Of course , I love using the Euphonix Transport while tracking - the workflow is incredible. However, if I enable that process, the CPU spikes and the fans go absolutely nuts ! Needless to say that kills the session in terms of noise.

Anyone else experience this - and is this normal ? Typically processes that run wild are bad coding or unstable interaction with other things going on.

Well, I figured this one out...

If you are running Logic, you need to disable Eucon from auto starting in system preferences. If you then start Eucon manually, that silly ExHUI will not start. That thing literally feasts on your CPU. I believe you need it for Pro Fools but if you are Logic - leave that piece of crap code from running on your system....

Dear AVID, please change that... slowing down LOGIC wont help you selling ProTools
