Now that you are mentioning it, in the bottom there is the message ?Checking for New Messages? and next to it there is an animation where something goes around a circle. Canceling that removes X?s CPU usage. Thanks a lot. Should I recommend something to the Evolution folks on how to due such animations? Or is the only way to avoid animations? > > Could somebody please tell me what component (X driver, DRM, Evolution, > > Cairo, ?) to investigate and how? > > I'd focus on profiling the X server, making sure the profiles show > symbols, ideally with call graphs. sysprof or perf might work better for > this than oprofile. Thanks. Lucky me, that this is not needed now and I can postpone how to figure out how to start X that way under Debian with GDM. Michael, thanks as always!
