Same/similar applies to Advanced Clock Plugin (pushing the CPU usage to almost always 2%, also consuming battery), which was the reason for me to deinstall that. (I know: wrong thread ;))
But only with Advanced Interface Switcher it is still below 0.5-1 %, so no big problem.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

Keep in mind that in all of these uncompiled Python applets:
Advanced Clock Plugin
Advanced Power
Advanced Interface Switcher

The actual CPU usage is less when you've got the screen covered and blank. Realistically, I have a VERY busy Advanced Clock Plugin style (my Monitor Clock, I mentioned it in that program's thread), and I have Advanced Interface Switcher, and while there might be some battery use decrease, I don't notice it that much. Especially when comparing idle times, the standby time with screen off and everything is effectively the same.

Also, I DO think that your results might have had to do with something being wrongly working, or it being a very CPU-intensive clockstyle. Because even right now, with my rather processor heavy clock style for Advanced Clock Plugin, and Advanced Interface Switcher, my status menu process is taking up 0.0 CPU.

6.2% RAM, yes, but 0.0% CPU. Which means even if it is doing a lot of processing, it's not even high enough to register as taking up a thousandth of the CPU's total processing.

I didn't want to ruin your theory, but compiled files (.pyc) are included in all my python packages )))

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

Yes, I believe you mentioned that. I do recall, however, shortly after your N900 sank somewhere, that I was using your SVN version from the garage - that only came with .py files if I recall correctly, and, upon copying the .py files from the svn directory to where they belonged, the updated version kicked in - however, the last-modified dates on the.pyc files never changed.

At any rate, even if I'm wrong, my point was still that while uncompiled python (even if AIS executes the compiled versions normally) takes up some RAM and CPU, it's not enough to account for the numbers that the person I was responding to reported.

I have a problem with this program, as I can't turn wifi off.
When I connect to network and use AIS to switch wifi off it only disconnects. Also if I am not connected, I won't let me switch it off

Please post the output of running

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

It would be nice to merge functionality from Wifi Switcher and Wlan driver selector, so there can be only one status plugin.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

have you found any solution?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

Installed,working for me. Excellent app. Better than WiFi switcher!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

can this switch wifi drivers? If not what is WLAN:enable mode startup? Thanks
