macOS Catalina interface laggy randomly while running Roon (High GPU usage randomly, Roon idle 20% GPU, sometimes up to 99% usage) [Resolved in Roon 1.8]

Hey guys, I did continue to experience the high GPU usage, randomly Roon getting to 99% GPU usage.

Going through the forum found a user that reported something similar but in windows, so this guy said that he cleared the “Image Cache” (Clear Image Cache option) and his GPU usage went down.

I cleared my Image Cache about 15 minutes ago… looks promising it went back from 20-25% idle while experiencing no UI slowness issue to 2-7% (even less), both in full screen or running in a secondary desk space!

@jmvdv give it a try and let us know please.

@noris I got some questions, hope you can discuss with QA:

1-can you please find out what relation these option has with the GPU issue?
2-should I modify the current value (256) given the GPU usage issue?
3-how often should I clear the Image Cache in my iMac core?

Edit:
only info about the option is Seeking info about image cache size

Thanks!!!
