100% CPU utilisation when playing multiple videos using the video library

Hi,

I'm trying to play some movies and sound in a processing sketch; there are 10 movies and 1 sound file - all the movies are fairly small [<=5MB]; I create them in setup and call .play() on them, and then in draw() I use image() on them, and I also use movieEvent() function to call .read() on them; whenever I run this the videos lag and my CPU spikes to 100%

Surely playing 10 concurrent movies isn't that onerous?

Does anyone have any ideas for how to improve the performance or can tell me if I'm doing something wrong or missing something?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

Thanks
