I found out why!
By mistake I had set too high a frequency in the plugin.
thank you all!

I tried my wife's notebook.
CPU only requires 20% !!!.
I do not understand anything any more !!
surely there is some conflict at the software level, I have to try to find out which one it is.

Unfortunately I can't give you an answer ...
I would like to understand it too ....
I tried it on the lathe PC where I have the Mach4 4300 version.
Plugin 3.205 with CsLab CS MIO IP / S.
(I don't update it because everything works fine for me and it's very stable)
I have disabled the servos and configured the Mill version.
The PC CPU load demand was around 50%.

thank you!
I attach gcode.
I am European, I use metric units, the gcode is in millimeters.
I have not made any changes to the PLC for the moment.

I use Mach4 Hobby with ESS, with regular license
The load demand on the PC's CPU is very high, despite the fact that the PC is powerful!
you can see it from the screenshots.
Why???

to my knowledge the easy servo models are stepper, no servo.
I have Leadshine servos on the lathe, L5 series.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Smooth Stepper Ethernet + Mach4, where am I wrong?

I searched and searched again!
I have not found any video of Mach4 + ESS working with a 3D relief!
Do you have any links?

@joeaverage
ok thanks for the info!
now I know the reasons!
I was convinced of the opposite! the site specifies the minimum PC performance, does not say anything about very fast PCs and possible contraindications!
In my case there is no point in replacing the PC, so I reluctantly stay at Mach3 Mill.
I will continue to study Mach4 Mill in parallel because I like it a lot! I will go slow to avoid problems!
Maybe later, when I get out of the costs of the new CNC, I recover an old PC to use only for the pantograph with Mach4.
So now that we have discovered the cause, I don't need to make videos anymore.
As always thanks for your availability !!
GOOO !! GOOO !! MACH4 !!!!
