Yes - e.g., top shows 1 processor. When running a Gcode program, it's averaging 68% idle. Hyperthreading is off in BIOS, as is audio, ethernet, and serial port. I do have in the machine: 2nd PCI serial port; for cnc4pc mpg; touch probe code in the HAL file (cnc4pc touch probe) I did bring the BASE_PERIOD down from 30,000 to 28,000; last time a real time error came up was when moving the USB mouse over the linuxcnc window border. Poof! up comes the real time error message. I guess I'll just live with it; it does take about 10 minutes for it to show up, so it's not too bad (I guess??)
