I've noticed this a few times now....  In the middle of working on a scene (not rendering!)
the computer's cooling fan suddenly jumps up to a very high speed.  It won't go back down
until I quit Poser.  This happens on scenes that didn't show any "strain" before.  

I can't prove it's the new SR, but I've never heard this speed before, even during
rendering; and my scenes are relatively constant in complexity, so I know it's not a new
figure or something like that.

Actually, when I had SR3 on my machine, it did likewise. After moving a parameter dial, or moving something, about forty seconds later I had a HUGE spike in CPU usage.  I finally did Task Manager with the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys and it is Poser glomming onto the CPU.  I never found out what was going on.

I reinstalled P7 and have SR2.1 on it and no more CPU spikes.  That's not helpful other than to say, "You are NOT imaging things."

Thanks!  It helps to have confirmation. 

I do imagine problems most of the time, but this one apparently
isn't my private delusion!

I went ahead and backed down to 2.1..... hated to do it, because SR3
has lots of important improvements.  But the improvements won't matter
if my CPU goes kerplooey.

Have you guys notified Smith Micro? I have a new computer and this is bad news, now I'm thinking about downgrading to SR2 or maybe I'll just finally sidegrade to PoserPro.

Just a question: is this issue because of Poser 7 SR3 or Windows XP SR3? Did both companies release an SR3 for their products? And did they do it just to confuse people? :)
