Hi Mike,
I have tested Minitioune CPU% using my PIPO_8.
After starting, Minitioune use about 22% of CPU waiting for a signal.
I receive the H265 1280x720, with video rendering, the CPU% is during first mn between 22% and 34%
(perhaps the way Win10 shows the CPU% is not instant accuracy?) so I wait to get more values
after 1 hour (always decoding H265) the Minitioune CPU% is between 40% and 55% (overall PIPO CPU used is 66% - on the picture 69 % with Paint also running)

I stop the video transmission, Minitioune CPU% go down to a value between 31% or 40%.(overall PIPO CPU used is 52%)

using my destop with I7, Minitioune CPU% is less than 15%

I never got a 100% CPU as you say.
I used Minitioune v0.9beta8 and a MiniTiouneV2_BATC
First question for me: why do you have 100%CPU used on you PC or laptop ?
There is a part of CPU% use by Minitioune, another part used by the decoder (Mpeg2, H264, H265)
we must distinguish these 2 parts.
* main Minitioune %CPU is used for measuring (%lock, RF level, MER, constelations, oscilloscope, derotator scan..)
* decoder can use a big %CPU, depending the codec used, the decoder filter used and the GPU you have ( recent CPU have hardware decoder for H264 and H264)
