So i was tinkering around trying to figure out why my framerate goes from 20 fps to 130+ fps outside of towns and whatnot. When i went to my resource monitor tab Cpu's 1-7 were at 20% while cpu 8 was at 95%. I disabled cpu 8 for ffxiv and then core 3 went to 95% and the rest were at 20%. FFXIV is not utilizing more then 1 core. The threads are just sitting on 1 core.. This would explain the fps drops people are having in crowded areas because our cpu's are randomly getting nailed from the inablity to offhand the load.
