v3.5.6 cpu utilization issues??

[usapatriotforlife]

It could be just me and my development platform, but I'm experiencing the following issue with v356:  I can take a brand new solution directly from the website, add a panelmeter and and an EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom1 driver.  Set the PLC Address value and the IP address in the control, build and run and my cpu goes to about 40% and stays their as long as the program is running.  If I add a couple of these drivers, the CPU pegs at 100%.  Also, data doesn't seem to read in as snappy in this release.

I tried the identical setting with a version 341 of AHMI and the cpu barely budged on my computer. 

I get the same results copying the files out and running them on a different workstation from my dev computer as well.

Any ideas on what to try to fix this?  Thanks!

I found a problem with the driver thread that causes high CPU usage. I fixed the problem and it made my usage drop from 12% to 0%. I'll post an update this evening.

You are amazing, I don't see how you manage to do all of this.   Thank you so much.

Ver 3.57 is now posted that should resolve the high CPU issue.

3.5.7 tested and confirmed to definitely fix the CPU utilization and sluggishness issue reported in this thread.  AWESOME!!    Thank you so much.
