Hi Chris! Thanks for your answers.

To reduce CPU usage, you need to change the frame rate (it's normally set to 60, but you can change it in the prefs). Less frame rate = less work to do, but it won't look good in most cases.
Actually this is *exactly* what I'm looking for. Thank you!
Really though, 8.5% CPU usage isn't a lot. You shouldn't worry about it unless you're writing something where performance is really critical, or it's hitting 100% and running slowly.
Since Conjure users might be running multiple QCs on multiple spaces simultaneously, this can add up. And on MacBooks and MBPs, this can cause unwanted battery drain. But in my case, I want the animations in Conjure to take precedence over the QCs, which are generally slow moving backdrops. I'm not doing anything in the backdrops that require fluid or even moderately fast speed.
Setting the frame rate is exactly what I needed to do. Thank you! -Chilton _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
