Re: [PD] Re : GEM: abnormal performance difference PC/Mac?

According to the thread Thibault linked to, it has to do with the CPU 
scaling of your computer. In your System Preferences, under Energy 
Saver, check to see what "Processor Performance" says (on OSX 10.4 at 
least that is where I find it). If it reads "Automatic" or "Reduced" 
instead of "Highest", then you're not playing with a full deck of cards ;-)

That is really crazy. (that closing and reopening the gemwin helps isn't
less crazy either)

Does your "method" work only with GEM or does that improve the
performance of the computer in general?

Hi

Your method doesn't work with me, maybe I don't understand exactly how you
do.

But I recently spoke about another method : before creating the window, if
you pause your computer (you close it), wait 30 seconds, and open it, the
CPU utilisation will be very lower. Then, you can create the window. The
performances are really VERY different.


You can find the thread here :

The -nosleep option works too, but not as good as pausing the computer...

Anywoy, I guess that the best method is to install Linux...


Maybe that a Mac-OSX expert could help us?
