(Source: Glitch Free / Cantabile)an indicator that shows how much load the system is under with respect to audio processing. Windows Task Manager reports a similar load
measurement as a percentage of CPU resource usage.
(Source: Native Instruments Website)The LOAD indicator in the Traktor header shows how much available audio buffer is currently being used for audio processing. This is not synonymous with the computer's processor usage.
With the ever changing list of plug-ins and operating systems, this appears a formidable metric for choosing a suitable buffer size versus guessing and waiting for dropouts.
According to the name "CPU Mixcraft x%" Mixcraft measures the CPU cycles, which is not necessarily useful:

In other words there’s not necessarily a relationship between time taken and CPU resources used (...)
Is there any way to measure this within Mixcraft? Maybe there is a plug-in that processes that.
