Package: gtk2-engines-clearlooks
Version: 0.6.2-1
Severity: wishlist
I really like this engine and theme, but it appears that progress bar
animation hack sucks way too much CPU on my otherwise idle time.
I noticed this when application has several progress bars
(like gaim logon, firefox page loading).
And I do open many firefox tabs when reading news, so that they load
until I read one of them.
For my P4-M 2G laptop 6 progress bars is enough to take almost all CPU,
and this is just idle time, when nothing is really happening.
It is even worse than that: the CPU consumption does not cease
if the progress bar is not visible (behind other window or in
inactive desktop).
I looked at "top" and compared the "idle" performance (when I do
nothing else but watch/read and don't touch anything) of two
btdownloadgui in Simple theme and Clearlooks theme:
1) in simple theme each btdownloadgui takes about 3-5% and
Xorg is also about 4%.
2) in Clearlooks theme each btdownloadgui 10-12% and Xorg 11%.
I did not notice any change in other process (without progress bars).
In extreme cases this even interrupts music play.
So now, what I do is "renice" such greedy processes,
but this does not work for Xorg process and certainly does not help
conserve the heat and power.
In conclusion: too much animation is a step back for desktop.
I would appreciate any method of turning this feature off.
thanks

I'm closing this bug as the animations in Clearlooks now default to
FALSE.
