No, on my cooker box, lisa takes less than 0.0% cpu, and only sends packets to my /24 subnet, but it may differ based on your network configuration (which you need to give information on in bug reports like this, I can't smell what you have done, and how your configuration looks!). Also, if you take note of the output when starting lisa, you will see something like this: No config file, generating one, please run kcontrol as root to customise Starting lisa: [ OK ] Did you try that?? (actually, don't yet, you may want to send me your /etc/lisarc first). > Lisa should > not be enabled at start (and possibly this problem should be addressed). This has been in effect since just after the release of 9.1 (the init script in 9.1 was mangled). You should have reported this much much earlier! Anyway, I have been using lisa on our /24 subnet for over a year, with no performance problems, and I patched the init script to make a good default config on all the networks I had access to. A working lisa out-the-box is a really nice feature (if I had the time I could find at least 5 reviews where someone complains about it not working in Mandrake, or says it works so well in another distro), and one that Windows has had for 8 years. Plus, current kio_smb works much better (even without building against libsmbclient which we can't do at present). > this bug has been reported on Bugzilla, but it is so dramatical, I want to warn > it separately for people who experience weird slows down. But, there are possibly better solutions than to disbale lisa by default. Please, play your part and provide the information I need to try and fix this. Sorry, but this is one feature that I really can't see is worthwhile disabling if there is any way to fix it, and so far only 2 people have had issues with it (but I have had almost no feedback from others ... so I assume it's working as well for everyone else as for me). How many people have thought lan browsing in KDE is impossible because they have looked in the LAN Browser and seen no computers?? > http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5244 Since none of the bug posters tried any experiments on how to fix this, I provided some information in this bug report on how you can, both testing on whether lisa needs a restart when an interface is taken up or down, and also on how to help me find a way to prevent some devices being included in the config. It's impossible for me to test all these configs, it worked well on all (4) machines I tested the script on (including our firewall with 3 ethernet interfaces, one box with eth and ppp), and I have had no previous feedback (besides that it worked for everyone running Texstar's KDE packages for 9.1 which include this script).
