Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] MATE vs other desktops

[David Both]

Have you used top or htop to determine where your CPU sycles are being used. That is where I always start. But those items I mentioned can take 30% or more of your CPU.

When I set Fedora 18 to fallback mode, the CPU usage drops to normal levels. Then in Fedora 19 it doesn't seem to matter what mode I am in, the CPU usage is always high. Thanks.

In a regular environment I always disable them. They may be helpful to some tasks for some users, but not for me and they all really suck up CPU cycles when taken together. Might there be some way to disable them in a LiveCD? I have not explored that.

Why is Fedora 19 Live CD using excessive CPU with most desktops. MATE seems to be the only one not running with high CPU.
