Monitor CPU load of tasks

Is there a way to see how much CPU time parts of the program are using?  I'm battling high CPU loading because I keep adding more features to the display and I was hoping there is a way to see what scripts or events are using the most CPU time so I can target my optimization.  I'm using a PV780, and it's hanging in with the CPU load at 75%, but if I push it to 80% or higher I start to notice it missing things.

  Hi, 

  Are you running into certain issues when you are on a specific page? Then I suggest you have a look at this article:

  https://support.enovationcontrols.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010804468-Tips-for-Improving-Screen-Performance/

   

  This was my downfall when the 780B was just released, where it didn't limit the fps. But after the update, things got better. Only bet is to have a cpu usage on each screen and you should know roughly what is running for that screen and then try to pinpoint issue.

  Hi Francois,

   

  I've read through that article, but I don't see where to toggle texture view, or where to define objects as dynamic or static.  I have tried some of the suggestions and it has made a small improvement on the CPU load. 

  I was looking for a way to determine which parts of the the main script is using the most CPU load.  I can switch the display to a blank white screen and the CPU load drops to about 50%, but I was hoping to figure out how that 50% us being used.

  Same problem here. Can't find the box to enable texture view, dynamic and static objects. Seems this is only possible in PowerVision 2.3 or lower?
