Hello all,

I'm running a MBP 2012 Mojave with a Diamond USB 3.0 adaptor, I'm noticing CPU usage from the DisplayLink software/driver up to a whopping 30% in my activity monitor.

I'm running Logic Pro and always assumed I was maxing out my CPU due to my internal software plugins that are CPU intensive. Very surprised to see this, as I'm up to date with the DisplayLink drivers. This issue was also a problem in El Capitan. This is also a problem I've seen described since 2016.

I've ditched my external display for now

Sorry if this has been posted about recently.
