Any update on your experiments audio vs video and Producer vs Consumer CPU comsumption?

No I couldn’t do it, was busy on scaling logic, have planned it to do in future when I am free from other stuff.

But one thing is clear that the producer, consumer can take same amount of CPU, and video takes more CPU than audio, as far as the ratio between them is concerned we need to experiment and see ourself.
