[4.7.1] - Engine appears to causing a lot of CPU Stalls

GPU 1: MSI GTX 780
GPU 2: ASUS GTX 560 Ti DC2 (Used as dedicated PhysX Card)
CPU: i5 3570k
RAM: 16GB DDR2

Will try the suggested solutions and see if it helps.

Edit:

I just updated to 4.7.2 and I haven’t run into any major performance hiccups as of yet. Will report back if I do.

Edit2:

While the majority of the issue seems to be resolved for me with 4.7.2, I am still getting rather significant slow-downs whenever I try to drag a node to another.

This happens all the time, not matter the scale of my project. Don’t recall having this issue before 4.7.

Edit3:

Manage to find what was causing my performance issue; it’s the new tutorial system.

I went into Editor Preferences → Tutorials and changed Startup Tutorial to None. Suddenly CPU usage dropped tremendously and I am no longer getting lag spikes when using graphs.
