9900K CPU Thread Usage?

So I'm playing POE for the first time in many years, and running it on my new build.

I've noticed that on my 9900K I can spike as high as 70-80% CPU usage across ALL 16 THREADS when, for example, loading a new are w/ lots of players (read: towns) or lots of particle effects.

Is this normal behavior to be expected?

My understanding is that the particle effect system is now using AVX instructions to speed up the calculations and said instruction set is the cause for such high Thread Usage???

I'm using a 9900k and my cpu seems to stay at around 25% useage from PoE and doesn't ever vary by more than 5%

There currently is memoney leak issue that drains a lot of performance and keeps many players from playing at all.

This might be the cause of this (it seems to be specific to certain hardware/OS so not everyone is affected equally).

Just the usual buggy mess POE is.

Do you run MSI AfterBurner while playing?

When I load into a town area (Lioneye's Watch for example) my CPU usage will spike to 70% across ALL 16 THREADS for a short time, then returns to the normal usage.

When this happens the game is running AVX instructions. I enabled my AVX Offset in BIOS to be certain and, sure enough, when my CPU usage spikes my CPU clocks down due to the Offset.
