Good question. Are you using the GTK gui ? Do you get the same wakeup timing with the -r1 switch ? Can you reproduce with an empty SWF (makeswf -o output.swf emptyfile.as) ? Does it only happen at the beginning (while loading) ? > When I pause the > video, it goes up to about 400 wakeups/sec (140 from > schedule_hrtimeout_range from gnash, and 120 from do_nanosleep from > gnash). I don't think gnash is calling those two functions directly, must be some dependent library. --strk; Free GIS & Flash consultant/developer () ASCII Ribbon Campaign http://foo.keybit.net/~strk/services.html /\ Keep it simple! _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list Gnash-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
