Andy-

Those all look like normal numbers. What exact CPU do you have?

I doubt a different power profile will make any difference but you know what they say about theory. Try it and see...but it may be challenging to get real objective data.

I have not brought my RP 122.88-16 online yet so don't have any meaningful data to offer in a similar setup.

And each FT8 band causes 3 processes to run:
Wsjt-X.exe                     1 - 2 % CPU
jt9.exe                            1 % with spike at 20%, presumably when decoding happens?
cwsl_ssbwave.exe       1 - 3 % CPU

Is that adequate? Seems pretty power hungry. Is there anything that can be optimized?  Remember, I am running CW Skimmer as well, which also need 10 - 20 % of CPU.

I am running the computer with the Performance power profile. 
Would it help to optimize for background services or foreground apps?

Thanks
