Description theosib 2004-10-14 03:45:38 UTC

Version:           3.3 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux

I noticed that my X server was using 14% of CPU time for no good reason.  I tracked it down to a Konqueror window which was minimized but which had animations going on.  'top' did not report any other process using appreciable CPU.

My assertion is that if a window is minimized, konqueror (well, Qt, I guess) should not be sending commands to the X server that are just going to get clipped and discarded anyhow.

[soapbox]And while I agree that the X server should be better designed so that it doesn't waste CPU time for nothing, only when every party involved agrees to take the initiative to resolve the problem on their own (rather than saying "it's not my problem") will anything EVER get done.[/soapbox]

so you better steal us time in reporting it every 2 days?
