Low FPS in ALL games

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run x360ce
2. Run the game
3. Monitor the frame rate (FRAPS)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Less than half the frame rate compared to running the game without x360ce

What version of x360ce and Windows are you using?
Windows 7 Professional x64, 2.0.2.90 (3.2.0.335 for the xinput1_3.dll)

What gamepad are you using? On what version of drivers?
Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2

Basically, running x360ce will severely bring down my frame rate in ALL of my 
games. I was wondering why I kept getting such low frame rates in GTA IV! My 
FPS nearly triple when not using x360ce. I also noticed that x360ce uses around 
35% CPU usage when it's just sitting there doing nothing.

Disable logging, and you must use only that many gamapads as configured in ini 
because because enumeration will cause high CPU usage, so if you use one 
gamepad delete any other for ini, best - create new ini (delete it and run 
config app).

Please retest using x360ce Lib 32bit 3.3.1.361.

Yeah, same issue(Low FPS - Dead Rising 2 - FPS cut in half..), newest release.. 
(ie, x360ce.App-2.0.2.96.zip)

I have no idea what you meant by this..

"and you must use only that many gamapads as configured in ini because because 
enumeration will cause high CPU usage"

I get "enumeration", and I understand .ini files, however, I have no idea what 
you are trying to tell me to do with the .ini file.. I tried deleting 
PAD2-PAD4, but that just caused problems, so I don't think that's what you 
meant for me to do.. ?

PS: Here is a config for a PS2 controller ran via a "PSXTOUSB" adapter(Radio 
Shack)... (This lacks force feedback\dead zones, I figure the end user can set 
that up themselves..)

(Also, please set "Console=1 to Console=0" by default, or at least add an 
option in the .exe to toggle it on\off, it made it very hard to setup my 
profile, because the cmd window kept popping up every time I made a change(ie, 
buttons\dpad\etc).)

Sorry for the triple post... :(

A quick update, the problem only occurs if the .exe is running, when it's off, 
the game runs fine, and the controller still works. (Logging was disabled, so 
it must be something else, ie, COnsole=1, etc,..)

Thanks for working on this btw, it's a useful program, and I'm sure it will 
come in handy for a number of newer games.. :)

exe is not needed to running in background when playing, is only config app.

Still happening on the latest version. The performance decrease is very 
noticeable in Just Cause 2. I'm not running the configuration application; I 
only have the .dll and .ini in the game folder. 

Any ideas?

Disable all unused gamepads, r431 and newer should resolve this issue by 
pass-trough all unused gamepads to native xinput instead of trying to enumerate 
it.
