Hi Stefan, idle functions do *not* run in the background so if you don't release the CPU you will experience what you described. AFAIK all the GMainLoop code is single-threaded hence, as a consequence, you will block the UI whenever the CPU is busy running your code, being it inside a signal handler, a timeout function or (as in your case) an idle function. Just avoid loops when you know they are expensive. Instead leverage the cyclic nature of GMainLoop for iterating over your code, i.e. by respawning your idle function as much as needed.
