Nice work spotting the cause of the high CPU load. I missed the processor bit in your message, I'm not 100% sure what effect other than reducing the CPU load this will have. I think that some plug-ins count the number of times that poll is called before doing something and IIRC in freevo-1.7 and below this was very approximately 0.1 seconds. So a poll interval of 0.1 seems reasonable. Anyway 20% of a 1200 MHz machine is very high. And as you know on my test machine (P3 733MHz) it is lower at about 16% and there are lots of plug-ins enabled on this machine. May be the poll interval should be user configurable, I think this would be best, and then plug-ins rewritten to use the kaa.Timer instead of poll() Duncan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
