Lip Sync Assistance / Slowdown

nullwhite

Ok I hope someone can assist me on this issue I have been having with sudden massive slowdown in Daz Studio and CPU maxing out during playback of a dialogue lip synced model.

I am using the genesis Michael figure in a scene I have built. I have both 64 and 32bit versions installed and I use the 32bit version for the lip syncing. I first tried the lip syncing a few days ago and it worked as expected, last night I was working on the same project with the same wav file and whenever I play back the content it slows right down and the cpu maxs out.

I assumed that it maybe that the large amount of assets in the scene might be slowing it down so i disabled all but the genesis figure and it was still doing it. I stripped the figure down to its naked self or just a lone head, still does the same.

Finally I tried just loading the base Genesis figure into a blank scene, lip synced the same audio and it played back normally. As soon as I started adding wardrobe of any sort the slowdown started again.

Now i run Daz Studio from a laptop but the spec is more than enough to run this, and there are no other intensive processes running in the background, the cpu sits at around 8% with just a few other programs open. It simply jumps to 100% when playing back.

Intel Quad Core i7 3.2ghz

All running from an SSD

Any help is most appreciated
