I installed the latest unstable xmms and cpu usage is reported as ~15% now, half of what it was. At 30% it noticably slowed down other processes on my 233. > >> I don't >> think x11amp used more than a couple percent. > > i believe it was bug in x11amp - it reports CPU usage wrongly. > It is probably fixed by now... Did it fool xosview as well? The utilities I used to monitor cpu usage all showed almost no load when only x11amp was running. I have no clue how accurate any of them are though. It's not a problem now anyhow. Xmms is a nice piece of work and I don't feel guilty about letting it run in the background all the time now.
