Just for information:

I have finally tracked down the cause of my cpu-usage problem.

Having the pedometer turned on boosts the cpu usage of hildon-home up to about 8-12% and total cpu usage up to 22% on average. This results in a significant battery drain over the course of a day.

This compares to an overall cpu usage of 8-10% average when pedometer is not monitoring. Having the widget loaded causes a negligible difference, having it turned on is when it takes the hit.



Your pedometer is probably one of my favourite applications for my N900 but I am not keen on sacrificing so much battery life; I wouldn't have thought it required too much in the way of cpu cycles to keep it ticking over. I generally leave the pedometer on permanently so this is a bit of a bummer to discover.

ps. Latest version of ped + PR 1.3 clean flash.
