Interesting, so likely local config problems. > Not that I'd call 5-8% CPU "chugging" anyway (chugging means the CPU is > at close to 100%). I never heard that... In fact, I'd say it is more often a reference to methodically emptying a beer glass... hehe. Seems there would be many other adjectives to indicate running hard. laboring, racing, straining etc etc. To me, `chugging' is nearly the same as `running'. You often hear of an economy `chugging along'. Certainly not meaning running wide open. Or someone `chugging along' at the speed limit. > Before raising a bug report it'd be an idea to see what's in use - the > whiptail resource consumption indicate something might be horribly wrong. And I've seen quite a few... but not energetic enough to try to get to the bottom of it. Thinking more of finally reinstalling, simplifying, ditching my experiment with kde, installing only what I actually use regularly. And move to `stable', running flux box or similar. Seems too complicated and labor intensive to go from where I'm at to that without just reinstalling. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
