I have also had a significiant problem with high CPU usage with the
Openchrome driver.
My situation is with an EPIA M1000 board with the VT3118 device, but I am
using a Panel LCD.
Fortunately I can do a direct comparison between the 'Via' driver from
Fedora 6 and the Openchrome driver in Fedora 10. Initially I had thought
the problem was Fedora 10 related and did a comparison between Python on
both platforms and confirmed the cpu loading between the two without
graphics was unlikely to be causing the poor performance.
The detailed discussion of my investigation can be found here:
[http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/fedora-10-seems-to-run-
very-slow--706493/#post3461492]
To summarise my results - in short I get the best pefrformance with all
acceleration turned off using the "NoAccel" flag set to True. Performance
is poor with the Openchrome dirver and seems fine with the F6 via driver.
The F6 Via performance is comparable with my eeePC with similar clock
speed and memory as the VIA Nano board.
The comparison is by way of swapping a CF card - One CF with F8 plus the
(embedded) application and F6, a second CF card with F10 plus application.
I don't use any Window Manager ans start X before starting the app.
The log dump is attached, perhaps someone can review this:
