Is it true or is it an error of htop...? threads may be doing different things depending on the thread. efl starts a bunch of threads (3 or 4 at least) generally speaking. one may be the vsync event thread which does very little except tries to exactly wake up when either a vsync event comes in from the drm/drm/kms driver core or use a clock based timer instead if that doesn't work. one could be evas's slave thread it wakes up for software rendering. one could be a special software scaler thread for scaling image data for the software engine.... one the main loop. now something shouldn't be using 100% cpu. that doesn't sound right. i don't see this here so... something special in your environment is different causing this to happen... what is it? where is it consuming the cpu? why? -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
