iTunes and Pure Vinyl Server (Preview Release 2) CPU Usage, 2 GHz Mac Mini, Mac OS X 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard)

NOTE: the CPU footprint of audio software will naturally depend on the computer (and OS) used.

For example: a Mac Mini will show a higher percentage of CPU use than a Mac Pro. Likewise, an older (slower) computer will show more CPU usage than a newer one. To put this another way, a benchmark run on a Mac Pro will appear to be more favorable than the same benchmark run on a Mac Mini.

Like ALL computer benchmarks, CPU usage comparisons MUST either be made using the same computer, or the computer speed (including number of processors) somehow taken into account.

(Above) CPU usage, Pure Vinyl Preview 2, Play from Disk Mode, Total Pure Vinyl (6.6) + iTunes (0.5): 7.1%

(Note: Pure Vinyl plays the tracks, iTunes only manages the music database, and is idle)

(Above) CPU usage, Pure Vinyl Preview 2, Memory Play Mode, Total Pure Vinyl (4.5) + iTunes (0.1): 4.6%
