Package: wmbubble
Version: 1.46-2.1
Severity: normal
In lenny, wmbubble used to have neglible CPU usage even on very moderate
machines. With squeeze, it uses about 2% CPU (according to top) on a 1 GHz
Pentium III.
Profiling shows that more than 90% of the CPU time is spent below the "Drawing
magic" comment in bubblemon_update, and more than 80% in the copying loop into
bm.rgb_buf that takes about 100 us a pop.
This is on a 24-bit visual --
according to xdpyinfo
default visual id: 0x21
visual:
visual id: 0x21
class: TrueColor
depth: 24 planes
available colormap entries: 256 per subfield
red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff
significant bits in color specification: 8 bits
--, and given that all I can see is that wmbubble uses gdk_visual_get_system,
I'm hoping someone else sees why something appears to see some need for costly
pixel translation operations here.
Possibly related (I've not really tried to understand this), wmbubble emits a
warning when it creates the icon window:
(wmbubble:17924): Gdk-WARNING **: /build/buildd-
