Best settings to reduce CPU consumption

[tellierflexus]

Hello Everyone !
I'm trying to interface a Dante virtual Soundcard (could be asio or WDM) with a physical ASIO souncard.
Both of them are synchronized (Using a Dante AVIO AES3 into an AES3 Sync input in the soundcard).
I'm trying to transfer 24 channels in one direction (Physical to dante soundcard), maybe 4 in the other.
When I try that, even if it runs well most of the time, I have sometimes a CPU usage peaks that translate by an audio glitch.
If I want to optimise my settings to reduce the load on the computer, what parameters could I leverage ?
I precise that latency is not an issue, it's for a radio broadcasting.
Do you have any ideas ?

Best,

if you got a CPU peak it's usually not from the matrix (that is optimized to work with a minimal and stable CPU load).

it can be due to an audio driver (having unexpected waiting cycle) or it can be due to the system (other driver like video or network can disturb audio real time), preempting our process and generate a DSP peak and consequently cut in the sound...

You may consider using Latency Monitor to diagnostic your problem more precisely:
