Photon Voice High CPU Usage

in Photon Voice
Hello,
In testing out our Photon Voice integration, we noticed that both Unity and built stand alone executables are running at a very high CPU (150%-300%). I have noticed the same exact spike in CPU when testing out the DemoVoice project provided with the Photon Voice download.

I was wondering if anybody had advice on how to troubleshoot what might be the issue? I'm not seeing anything in the logs that indicates what might be causing the problem, but perhaps I'm not looking for the right log statements. If there is anything I can provide which would help, please let me know and I'll try to see what I can find.

Thanks,

Build:
- Unity 5.6.1f1
- Client Build: macOS 10.12.5
- Server: Self hosted Photon (Photon-OnPremise-Server-SDK_v4-0-29-11263)
- Photon Voice: v1.91 (according to the changelog.txt file)

    Quick followup:
    1- We've tried this on both our own hosted photon server as well as photon cloud, and both yielded the same hight CPU usage
    2- We did test this on a Windows build of the demo and the CPU reached ~30%.

    Can you also provide Unity Profiler logs or screenshots?

    Couldn't figure out how to attach files directly in the forum, so here is a Google Drive link with a screenshot and the profile from running it saved

    My system CPU was showing about a 150% with me as the only client attached. It does seem to increase with each person that joins the session

    Also, for the record, this data is from running the DemoVoice-Scene.unity scene, not our project

    We are working on the issue right now.
    Please try quick fix and let us know if it helps: download https://www.dropbox.com/s/yfqc4457ozuinhe/VoiceClient.cs and replace Assets\Plugins\PhotonVoiceApi\Core\VoiceClient.cs

    Thank you @vadim. Tried some tests today with your patch and it significantly lowered the CPU

    The current Voice version (1.10) should have this issue fixed already.
    Please check.
