Very weird. I've got a 3 year old Quad core AMD Phenom Fedora 19 machine running 3 instances of XFCE 4.10, and the CPU usage is rather slim. (Just checked, with two semi idle sessions we have 2% CPU usage). I've another 6 year old Fedora 19 Xeon workstation running 3 instances of KDE 4.10, again, the CPU usage (across all 8 cores) is <10-20%. (Though VNC really dislikes KDE's special effects) Can you elaborate on the setup (E.g. are you using rdp/vnc/X), hardware, networking, etc? - Gilboa _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
