Try this change

In ?.bat under rem #4, last command reads:

start /b /wait c:\process.exe -a foobar2000.exe 10

change this to:

start /b /wait c:\process.exe -a foobar2000.exe 11

This sets Foobar to operate on both CPUs. I find this to be better and you'll notice context switches (CS) drop to normal levels. Setting to either CPU adds another 1000-1200 CS per second. This is unnecessary overheads.

In process explorer, set interval to 1 second, double-click Foobar2000.exe, select Threads TAB. Column 'CSwitch Delta' gives CS per interval. Also, when using ASIO, foobar will have 3 threads (UI, Playback & ASIO Output).
