When trying to get user attention due to growl needing to be restarted WindowServer uses all available CPU.
Growl: 2.1.3. OSX: 10.10.4 Growl having died the icon was displayed in the menu bar with oscillating intensity to get user attention. During the two days it took me to realize what was slowing the machine down it needlessly slowed up the machine as well as providing a visual indication. The slowdown is presumably unintentional and is significant. Preferably the icon should sleep between changes of intensity or between cycles of changed intensity or use other measures that do not impede overall performance. I can't confirm if the code providing the feature is in Growl or WindowServer but wanted to make you aware of the issue. It may be that this is a WindowServer feature that you are using rather than your direct implementation. All the Best, Owen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
