low-end hardware like the XO has no business running pulse. last i looked, simply playing an uncompressed audio stream (admittedly, it was probably sourced remotely, but that's not uncommon) caused pulse to consume about 10% of a 1.6Ghz atom. now, it's somewhat possible that my system was misconfigured -- perhaps someone should double check me on this. paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
