[SOLVED] Super high CPU when drawing

[RookieFir]

Hello!
I've been recently experiencing this problem - whenever I draw with a bit bigger brushes or bigger canvases, my CPU goes nuts, up to 100%.
This has never been a problem to me before, because my PC could handle way bigger canvases and 500px+ sized brushes.
My first thought was, if the virtualization could be affecting this, since it started using this much CPU when drawing at around the time I enabled virtualization. Does it really affect it though? (Sorry, I'm not really tech-savvy).
Also, this never causes lag, whenever I use any other software or program, only when drawing even with slightly bigger brushes.
Any help is really appreciated, thank you!
Also, I included this link of a screen recording I took on the lag (I use Krita here, but it lags my brush with any kind of drawing software) -

Very weak processor and a demanding software.

Really hard to help without knowing what he components of your pc are. Please list all parts.

Yeah, I agree with CountMike. That Core 2 Duo isn't doing you any favors. I'd suggest upgrading to literally any modern CPU. Even a super budget CPU like the AMD Athlon 200GE is going to be twice the CPU you have, but something like an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G or 3200G or an Intel i3 9100 are going to be a better choice. I'm sorry, but there really isn't an easy upgrade option here outside of buying a new PC.

I see, thank you! I was thinking of buying a new PC somewhat in the future anyways, so that reassures me even more then.

Really sorry, forgot about that!
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
RAM - 12.00 GB DDR3
Bios - Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A15
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GT 630
And it also says that SSD - 669GB
Am not really sure where to look up anything else that's needed, but if there's information lacking, I'll try to search more!

Well, this is a really good year to upgrade. Lots of good cpu's and gpu's available now and more on the way.

Well, you have a good number of options whether you are comfortable building your own PC or are looking for a prebuilt. It doesn't seem like you need anything too powerful so an off the shelf system with a Ryzen 3 or 5, or an Intel one with an i3 or i5, would be a good option for you and hopefully provide you with decent longevity.

Best of luck to you and come back if you need any other recommendations.
