I use amarok all the time, although its not lite, its cpu usage is normally arround 5-7 % while playing and kwin is arround ~1% (when amarok is minimised to the tray). When the window is shown the usage is slightly higher(kwin arround 15%) this i think is because ive got the images applet enabled which shows a sort of slide show of images with various transitioning effects like (blending). im on 2.3.1. what version are you using? try upgrading to the latest? try disabling a few applets that you dont need or might be heavy. > My machine has 4GB RAM and nvidia (geforce 8400), but > the CPUs are celeron.
