Hey all, i brainstormed all day at work and came up with a list of a few things to try. When i got home i did a new window layout and set it up the same as the last, but changed round robin cpu balancing to select all CPU's with every window and it completely fixed my fps issue. Now my foreground is always at 60 and my slaves are always at 30, when before it was more like 15 and 5 or 10 and 5 >.< no idea why that did it, maybe the new 8 core processors aren't balanced properly for round robin, or my overclocking the processor is throwing it off? anyway, thanks for the help everybody problem is solved.
