High processor usage?

NNN634907669163762500
Hi,
ive just recently downloaded capture one 7 and using the program on a trial period. When processing Raw files i get a lot of 100% processor usage spikes causing a stutter on my system and using up to 6gb+ of ram? i am running spotify with 4 files of pics open. This just sims a lil bit high as ive been using photohop cs6 with acr multiple files open music playing and not using no where near that amount of ram and cpu Power. Is this program Really that powerful! any ideas why?
thanks paul

My system specs

gigabyte z68xp ud4
i5 2500k OC 4.5ghz
8gb ram
asus matrix gtx 580 1.5gb
windows 7 64bit

    Hi there: Did you turn off any programs and services running in the background that may not be needed? I would never suggest a real time process like audio players while using these image programs.

    I would check on CO7, is Open CL is on AUTO or defeated? Using Open CL may reduce CPU loading.

    8G is not so much RAM nowadays. RAM Prices are VERY low, you might consider an upgrade to 12 or 16G.

    Finally I suggest alternative tools besides Windows Task Manager, to check more deeply the RAM and CPU allocations, we use process explorer, filemon and procmon from Windows Sysinternals, there are many other free tools to monitor.

    Enjoy!

    Capture One is utilizing your resources to the max.

    And regarding the Why? Have you seen the output? Good image quality is heavy on computation.

    Thanks for the response guys the rig is mainly used for gaming , so looks like a ram upgrade is in order! Would a SSD make much difference in performance apart from initially booting the program?
    I love the programme so its worth it thanks for the advice.

    Since the introduction of SSD and use by CO users, reports are unanimously positive.
