Beagle is not supposed to use an awful lot of CPU-time, except for rare peaks. If it uses a lot of CPU-cycles for more than a few seconds it's a bug - most likely in a plug-in. Especially the SVG plug-in tends to have issues. The memory consumption is however quite high. -Kristian Poul Herkild -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
