Thank you SO much. Your suggestion totally solved the problem. It makes 
sense when you think about it.

Results:  When capturing standard definition DPX files, CPU utilization 
is now down at 7 percent (out of 400 percent) and holds steady forever 
basically.  I was able to capture 150,000 frames (83 minutes) before I 
got bored and stopped my test. 

In addition, I'm now capturing HD-444 DPX files which run at about 260 
MB/sec and that's doing fine as well -- running at 37 percent total CPU 
(out of 400 percent).

Cheers,
Andy
