Folks,
Running 18:04 LTS on a Toshiba Laptop AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics × 4
If I am running Handbrake and converting video sysmon shows all 4 processors at around 100%
Now I may be completely wrong here but all 4 going at around 100% each would be getting quite hot so I wanted to slow it down a wee bit.
Used cpulimit to ease the processor usage but the percentage selected bears no resemblance to what sysmon shows.
If I issue cpulimit -p <PID No> -l 50 the processors all drop to around 25% - if I select 75% sysmon shows below 50 and strangely if I select 99 sysmon shows processor load as around 50%
I appreciate there are other processes being used but the cpulimit percentage limit doesn't appear to bear much resemblance to what actually happens.
