Hi Richard,
? I've seen the same issue, where 8 or more cams running under Motion
pretty much consumes a quad core machine.? I've noticed the CPU usage
has gone up with versions newer than 4.0 too, with the same exact camera
setup.? What is your HW platform (CPU type and speed)?? I recently
purchased a new laptop to use as my motion machine, trying to throw more
CPU at the problem.? I haven't got it set up yet though.

I'm using an Hardkernel Odroid N2+
thats running two instances of motion, Homeassitant and owncloud ?as a
NAS , and it seems happy, its muticore and pretty fast
motion use peaks at 280% , but it is multi core?
hope that helps
