I'd probably say something like "is very light on CPU power", "put only
modest demands on CPU power" or something similar.

How about "processor-sparing?" Not quite the same, but reasonably close.

What good is the right answer when you have asked the wrong question?

Re: Needing help translating a Swedish word

Unfortunately, no Swedish to English option there...

Besides, the actual word is a "live construction". Swedish is a very
flexible language when it comes to word construction -- if the word
doesn't exists, we just make up a new word "on the fly" from two or more
words. Everybody will understand the new word, but you are unlikely to
find it in any dictionary.

I think that may be the best way to say it. There is no one word, and
using something like "not CPU intensive" [which could work] seems less
clear to me than the way you said it.

Needing help translating a Swedish word

[Max Gossell]

Hi,

I know this is a bit off topic, but it's for a good cause: I'm trying to
translate a nice Swedish review of SpamSieve for Michael Tsai, the
developer, and need help translating one Swedish word into English.

The word is "processorsnål" and the meaning is something like "uses very
little of the processor's power".

Thanks for any suggestions.
