Question / Help OBS taking too much CPU

[Shasko]

Hello team and people in the forum...

Here's the deal I just added a new overlay based in WebM and the CPU usage is spiking to the sky, and taking a LOT of CPU.

Would you please check how can I improve this, or what am I doing wrong in order to use less CPU.

Use goes around 40% CPU not streaming and like 50% streaming or recording.
With a clean scene it goes to 15%

You have several media sources in there that will drive CPU usage up, replace some of them with images or reduce the cost of decoding using different video formats.

Edit: Alternatively, get some hardware that has hardware decoding for VP8/VP9 for OBS to use.
