Reduce CPU usage in Camino during page loads
Authored by: randalla on Sep 24, '03 03:11:28PM

Nope, it's not, watch top/process viewer and hit a page that is very slow to load (to give yourself time to see the effects). If you have the animation (barber pole) running, you will see Camino take over the processor. If you don't have it, Camino will idle around until the page comes back.

This may or may not be noticeable if you have a DP machine, where the barber will take one processor, and the other processor will just idle away doing whatever it wants. YMMV.

Reduce CPU usage in Camino during page loads

How else do you think I would find out the processor usage? Must I make a movie of my `top -u` results to prove that I see absolutely no effect deleting this unnecessary pole?!

In the future don't treat me like I'm an idiot.

Sorry if you felt attacked. I can say that in my setup, it does do what I claim it does. There may be many reasons why your reacts differently than mine does. For example, the version of Camino, and OS X could play factors in it, as well as the setup of the machine in general.

I am on a single processor, PowerBook 12" G4 running 10.2.8 and am using not the most recent nightly (2003091202 to be exact). However, I have seen this issue in Camino for a long time, but I guess it might be possible that something has changed in the more recent nightlies, or that in the last full release (0.7) may not have had this issue.

As I stated, your mileage may vary (YMMV), and I only offered what I found useful, hoping that it might help someone who experiences the same type of thing.
