--- Comment #12 from Riccardo Robecchi <sephiroth...@hotmail.it> --- Arjen, I think I have understood why there is excessive CPU usage and I have a proposal on how to fix it. The problem is that System Monitor (and KSysGuard as well, though to a less extent) simply poll the information too often. The difference between Plasma System Monitor, which uses a lot of resources, and GNOME System Monitor, which is quite efficient, is that the latter does not update the data as often, thus using much fewer resources and being much lighter on the system. It is my conviction that by reducing the amount of times the data is updated, a satisfactory balance can be achieved. Currently System Monitor updates multiple times a second, which is overkill for any practical purposes: nobody needs to see the CPU graph going up and down with such precision, one or two times a second would be more than enough. As far as I understand this, this would involve basically any other application and widget that relies on this features because this is all managed in the KDE Frameworks? Do you reckon reducing the update rate would be feasible? Let me know. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
