Please explain why the current CPU cycles used is a problem.
CPU cycles == battery time. A busy main-menu means the computer is less useful for travel. But seriously, did you take a look at what main-menu really does? Throw strace at it and observe: * It reads /proc/mounts and /proc/partitions. It then stats everything mentioned in there. * It appears to be talking to NetworkManager via dbus. * It stats about 100 directories like /usr/local/share/icons And it does all of those every few seconds! If it wants to know when some files change, then it should arrange for a wakeup call when they do. inotify should work for that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
