I think he has a point, here. I suspect trying to heuristically differentiate between 'normal' high CPU use and 'out of spec' high CPU use would be almost impossible. How would you go about doing it? I can't think of an approach, even. It's something the user of the system can figure out almost without thinking - any reasonably smart user *knows* which of the things running on their system should be using 100% CPU for five minutes, and which shouldn't - but I think it's extremely difficult to figure out heuristically. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
