But if you wake up ecore with an event, for example a mouse move event, it will process this event and the expired timer just after it, right? >From my understanding, when you add a timer, if the time for that time to expire is smaller than ecore frametime, ecore will take that frametime to run the timer callback. I don't think that this is a wrong behavior, I'm just looking for ideas on how to solve this (even if what I need is a workaround inside webkit). This makes things like this animation: http://bubblemark.com/dhtml.htm be slower than they should be on the EFL port of webkit. -- Rafael Antognolli ProFUSION embedded systems http://profusion.mobi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
