I'm running xfce4-panel (4.3.90.2, to come in the archive). xfce4-panel uses 0% CPU and 0.7% MEM continuously. > A strace on the process shows that > within approximately 10 seconds, the following functions are called: > > > grep -c ioctl strace.log > 142 > > grep -c gettime strace.log > 267 > > grep -c poll strace.log > 141 I can confirm those values, but I don't know if it's really related. I tried too with xfce4-terminal and epiphany, and I get values like these: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: grep -c ioctl xfce4-terminal.log [~] 181 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: grep -c gettime xfce4-terminal.log [~] 288 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: grep -c poll xfce4-terminal.log [~] 190 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: grep -c ioctl epiphany.log [~] 846 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: grep -c gettime epiphany.log [~] 3240 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: grep -c poll epiphany.log [~] 847 > > It appears that the program is polling something rather inefficiently > and often.
