Re: Thoughtful operating system

[Peter da Silva]

I don't have any Dashboard widgets, I played with them briefly but when 
I saw how my CPU time jumped when I brought up Dashboard I switched 
back to Konfabulator. It's a little more complex to create widgets 
since you don't have all of Webkit to play with, but on the other hand 
you don't have all of Webkit to weigh you down... so when some idiot 
writes a widget that refreshes every 30ms it doesn't actually try and 
do do 33 HTML page refreshes a second. Not that I'm happy with doing 
that many updates but at least it's just a single statically positioned 
control it's beating on.
