I have been doing several tests with Vidblaster and love the software as a whole, but have found it is very CPU intensive and barely even touches the RAM.

If running 3 Lifecams in Full HD it begins to max out the CPU. If I drop it to 720p it continues to run hot but is doable, provided I don't record or stream. Once I record or stream it begins to run the CPU at its max again.

Due to me needing to be mobile, my setup is as follows...

ASUS G74SX-DH71. 2nd Gen i7 2.2GHz (with boost to 3.1) 16GB RAM and GeForce GTX560M 3GB.

After checking the specs it appears that it runs the CPU hot and barely touches the RAM. The RAM is hitting around 2.5-3.5 GB used.

Is there anything I am missing?

I understand I can run at a much lower Resolution and be fine, but the recording quality is what I want in the long run. We stream live and record at the same time. Live stream to Ustream can be dumbed down in quality for the initial broadcast as long as I have a good copy to post for later viewing.

Ideas?
