Got curious and checked my CPU usage both during play and import.

During play the CPU usage flatlined out at about 2% usage with an occassional brief spike up to about 4%.

During import the average CPU usage ran an average of 60 to 70% CPU usage and an occassional spike upwards to about 90% and and an occassional downward dip to about 40%.

Imported 8 tracks from a S.C.2092 disc. Total import time for 8 tracks 3:30. Projecting that out, a normal 15 track cdg would import in about 6+ minutes. I shut nothing off from running in the background.

My processor is an Intel P-4 running at about 1600ghz.

Suggest you guys look elsewhere for the problems you're having with CPU drain and slow importing, rather than the software.
