my point is that picasa using too much CPU. seems that picasa not optimized very well. picasas CPU usage is not normal. i have also digikam, what searching all my picture categories and digikam working well and digikam is not so slow like picasa.
there is no reason why picasa must eat so much of CPU.. when i look what picasa does, then actually programs like picasa doesn't need so much CPU. I've been remove all folders and then pick all what i need many times.. and that takes some days to get back all folders what i need.. >500 folders everything works well.. 500-1000 folder is normal enough, little lag comes sometimes.. 1000-1500 folders, things getting little bit slow and laggy... over 2000 folder everything is painfully slow On 15 dets, 21:17, leiz <[email protected]> wrote: > On Dec 15, 8:00 am, zorroh <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > 2.
