Topic: Process Use Spike

So SVP has worked almost flawlessly for me for years, with the single application i use it with, Potplayer.

But i have to shut down SVP when using some applications, because it's process use spikes by 15-30% when i run certain application, namely games.
I can only assume that it hooks into any applicable application that is not manually blacklisted, causing it to spike.
This could be fixed by a simple "Blacklist all but.." option, that sadly isn't in SVP, which i find odd.

All this launching and terminating of SVP is extremely bothersome, and i often forget to re-launch it after having to shut it down.
Not to mention the lag i get in games because i either forget to terminate SVP, or don't know it's happening before i see what it's doing in a new game.

By posting here, i'm hoping for somany kind of resolution, to this problem.

Re: Process Use Spike

Quick test showed just this after opening, playing shortly and closing game, don't know if it triggered the spike tho. Likely didn't, have to test further.
