Hi, enlightement (e19 0.19.5. with EFL 0.14.1) with no action on the screen is constantly eating ~11% of CPU (on a ~year old laptop with Intel Core i5). Despite that it is not much, I was trying to find out why - and it turned out that very most of this is consumed by two modules:
Clock ~ 5% Pager_plain ~ 4% The Pager_plan module has disabled live preview (enabling it increases the constant CPU consumption by another ~10%). Is there a way to fix this ? Both the modules do pretty simple tasks and thus it looks really strange why they should eat so much CPU. I guess it is connected with the fact that both the modules needs to constantly redraw info on screen (changing time, watching windows positions). Actually it looks like any action connected with changes on screen throttles the CPU to ~30% (e.g. the animation over iBar with mouse on it, moving a window on screen etc.). I have to admit I don't have feeling for how much CPU-hungry these actions should be, but given that E+EFL is supposed to be lightweight, the 30% on a recent processor model looks quite a lot to me (please do not take it as a complaint, but as a possible-bug report). Thanks, Pavel PS: I have the following enlightement package installed (compiled on debian testing): efl evas-generic-loaders emotion-generic-player elocation eweather efx elementary e19 emodule-desksanity emodule-deskshow emodule-everything-places emodule-extramenu PPS: I tested the CPU consumption is not connected with the four "unofficial" modules (unloaded them before the tests). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
