When you have a lot of cpu to spare

So after optimizing for cpu and playing with it like that a while I have realized I have a lot of room. I’ve got the cpu down to as little as 6-8% with console closed and 12-16% when console is open and on screen. I can go forward or back at 256x speed for all feeds simultaneously and it hits in the 40s. And that is currently with 6 2mp cams at 15fps 1kps with a high bit rate. So I was wondering what settings I can use or change to optimize the quality or experience on my machine? Any pointer on what to play around with or what would be best to waist some cpu on?

I’m really enjoying playing with blue iris.

What do you mean by 1kps with a high bit rate? What is your bitrate setting?

Increase your FPS to 20, that'll use up more CPU. But when you do, make sure you proportionally increase your bitrate to keep the same quality. Eg if you are at 15FPS and 4096 bitrate, when you change to 20FPS increase bitrate to ~5461 (4096/15*20)

Meant key frame per second.

IMO, if you could share the circled stats in the screenshot, folks can use that as a more direct comparison to their system.
