Default DirMon2 isn't allowing SA to use the correct % of CPU

Howday.

I can't get DirMon2 to work properly with multipule instances. Under global settings I have 100 for the total resources available.

Under Job Management I have 50 for resources required.

DirMon will execute two instances of SA but when it does, each instance only actually uses 6-10% of the available CPU cycles. The remaining amount shows up in Task Manager as "idle".

Anyone know how to fix this? Here is my .ini file:

PHP Code:

EDIT: If I set the resourses on the job to 100 then 100% of the CPU is used without issue.

Default

The resource count in DirMon is completely arbitrary. You could just as easily set "Total resources" to 2 and "Resources required" to 1 with the same result.

I think the issuse is the instances of SA are battling over some resource. Do they have any throttling enabled?

No, throttling is not enabled.
