[OT] Question about the ASUS Control Interface

[sisyfus]

Apologies for this somewhat off topic question:
When the ASUS Control Interface is accessed, is there any possibility that it could cause the CPU to enter some kind of idle state for ~13ms? Reason for asking is that I'm experiencing intermittent audio glitches using ASIO, and it gets much worse with either Armour Crate or G-Helper open.
I've started to use the Windows Performance Recorder to analyze it, and have posted here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5491950/asio-audio-glitches-on-asus-rog-flow-x16-need-help (I haven't mentioned AC & G-Helper yet over there yet)
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
