yup. the clock flipping seconds consumes cpu. it's defined by theme. it actually flickers/animated the numbers not just ticks them over with a single draw. you can modify the theme to change this or disable seconds. it's not free. it'll consume about that in wayland too... the difference is when you switch tty enlightenment STOPS RENDERING. it goes idle as it knows you switched vt. e itself has to handle the vt switch. in x it has no idea you switched vt. x doesn't tell e anything and it doesn't know, so it keeps going. ssh in and run htop and measure there and you'll see it's the same just the vt switch is the difference. -- ------------- 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
