TeaTime is CPU intensive when countdown is running #16

Closed Mno-hime closed 9 years ago

Mno-hime commented 10 years ago

Since today update to version 16 from extensions.g.o TeaTime is CPU intensive when countdown is running, it eats some 30 % of one of my CPU cores. Previous version was OK.

Oh, one can see in htop that gnome-shell is the process which is CPU intensive when TeaTime runs countdown.

Indeed, I see it for myself on GNOME 3.14. The graphical countdown is more CPU intensive now. Strange, the only thing which changed there are the colors. As a work-around for now, please use the textual countdown.

What about the new icon which is now in Javascript (icon.js)? Can it be you are refreshing it (or something) all the time the counter runs? Just a guess.

Digging a bit deeper, it seems as if this high CPU usage was there before the GNOME-3.14 changes. I noticed, that decreasing the redraw frequency helps a lot -- at least on my machine!

Fine, I'll submit it to the extension page, when I've accumulated more changes (I'm working on more theming stuff); will close the issue if it's submitted.
