Hi Everyone,

TOPs is bringing my computer to a halt when running the top network. When I just file cache the same thing in the geometry context it caches nearly instantly and it doesn't cause my mouse to be inoperable. Why is TOPs using only one core and maxing it out to the point where I cannot move my mouse? Hope you can help! My CPU is a i9-12900k!

I turned Houdini's usage of CPU 23 off and all of a sudden my mouse and every other process on my computer is fine. So some bug is happening I think.

Check the scheduler"s settings, it has option for max threads and how cpu is used. If it's not setup correctly it can start all workitems simultaneously causing a spectacular meltdown.
