Mysterious Processor Use - Again

2007-04-02 Thread Fred moyer
I saw a post to the list from back in April, 2006 about this. I'm seeing it now with Rev. 2.8. For no apparent reason, the fan on my Powerbook will turn on. I open Activity Monitor and see that Revolution is hogging the CPU with 40 - 70% of the CPU. I have no pendingmessages, no throbbing

Would this be handled by idleRate? 70% sounds a bit high, and may warrant an enhancement request. I don't know the frequency of updates, but my hunch is that they could probably do the update less often and no one would notice but it would free up some clock cycles.

Hi, Did you use a player? I observed that using a player to play a sound only once in version 2.7.1-dp-4 pushes the cpu time to about 30% and keeps it there. Greetings, Wouter On 21 Apr 2006, at 04:31, Scott Rossi wrote: Recently, Stephen Barncard wrote: I'm looking at the activity

I'm pretty sure I've seen references to this before but I'll ask anyway... I'm looking at the activity monitor on my system and it says Revolution is using about 30% of the processor, yet there is no apparent activity taking place (pendingmessages is empty). Even after suspending the development

FWIW, I've also noticed this, and pre 2.7 FWIW. Sorry; not much help, I know. But at least if I'm losing my marbles, THIS isn't the cause of it. Judy On Thu, 20 Apr 2006, J. Landman Gay wrote: Hm. I've got two different versions of Rev running right now, along with a third copy of MetaCard.

This is what I had to do as well. Sometimes I'd have to force-kill it from the terminal or activity monitor, as Rev would hang with 85% + processor use. Judy On Thu, 20 Apr 2006, Mark Talluto wrote: On Apr 20, 2006, at 9:28 PM, Jim Ault wrote: Re-launching Rev or restarting your
