Ya, I've rebooted. I've been looking thru a bunch of threads on CPU and saw someone posted about the "limit decoding" box. I checked that an my CPU has dropped to 20-30% without the GUI running so now I'm trying to find more info on any downside to using that option, why it's not checked by default type stuff. Anyway, I'll leave it running like this for now, it was running sort of like when the 'direct to disk' option was off but it is on for all camera's so that's not it. Anyway, if others are not having the problem with this release then it there must be something with my settings I guess.
