Description Andreas Bayer 2004-06-28 03:56:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

There are moments where the hole cpu is needed. So running kde in such moments is much too cpu expensive. 
There should be a freeze button for all cpu eating applications like knewsticker, kclock, karamba, kimap and so on. This applications do not really do important things (not important, but nice), but stopping and restarting them whenever i need the power is a awful jobs. Also in such moments i dont need any icon-previews or screensavers.
So if i could just freeze them, that they do not need any cpu power, it would allow notebook to save battery, when its critical, would save my live in ut2004 and speed up my compiler by about 10%.

Perhaps kde could look after the cpu usage and activate the freeze if usage higher then 95%.

Yes, would be nice if there was a "Safe-the-cpu-cycles!"-mode indeed.
