Hi,
Using the EOS Utility with a 700d in Live View causes a constant CPU spike of over 150% in Activity Monitor
This in turn causes the internal fan to run continuosly, ruining the audio recording.
Seems like there's a huge memory leak in the software. I've updated to the latest version of the EOS Utility compatible with the 700d, closed all other applications etc and nothing works.
Is there a fix for this? I daresay this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer anywhere.
Specs:
EOS Utility (v2.14.10.2)
Canon 700d (firmware v1.1.4)
2012 Macbook Pro, 2.9GHz Intel Core i7, 8Gb Ram
OSX 10.11.2

Has anyone tried using an older version or alternative software ?

There is still a bit of a memory leak or similar issue in the PC version also. I shot 800 images Friday afternnon at a series of soccer scrimmages using my 1DX 2 and 1DX bodies. After using quick check to select around 120 of these images I found that DPP became much less responsive after about every 20-25 edit/conversions and exiting and restarting DPP would clear this for another 20 to 25 images.
Note that DPP memory usage never went over 3 gigs and I am using a system with dual Intel Xeon 8 core processors with 128 GB per processor so it wasn't running into a lack of system resources during this slowdown. Regardless of whether it is running fast or slow in DPP, system memory load never goes over 8% running DPP and several other programs and processor utilization spikes at under 25% during conversion to JPG regardless of whether DPP is highly responsive or sluggish and sits at 1 to 9% during typical usage of DPP.
I see that 4.10.4 is available for Windows and I am currently downloading it to see if it has addressed this slowdown.
