Request: Connect to the "notify::status-area-visible" signal and use the result of that to determine whether to update the bars instead of the osso_hw_display_event CB. This will stop it from updating when you can't actually see it (like in a fullscreen X Terminal). "status-area-visible" gets set to FALSE when the display goes off. Thanks!

I love the cpumem applet.
It is much less bloated than the other alternatives.

So, what is the differences between this and the Load-applet? does the cpu/memory applet has the record & the screen shot? and which one is lighter on the devise in-terms of battery consumption.

I'll put it to TODO list however and on my summer holiday I'll try my best to clear the TODOs in my projects.

Unfortunately I've had to uninstall cpumem-applet, as it seems to be the cause of high cpu usage.
With it installed it caused my hildon-desktop process to always be taking up about 15% cpu.
Anyone else experience this?

no app(let) runs alone on the device, but usually a lot of them do simultaneously, hence, every unnecessary, though small resource usage will eventually add up to a huge one.

Does rebooting help?

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:35.
As some of the interested parties know, cpumem-applet is a fork of load-applet, that aims to be the simplest and most light-weight solution for having cpu&memory load bars in status-area.
The current version, 0.0.3 of cpumem-applet, is a plain strip down of load-applet 0.4.6-1 and all kudos go to Jakub, the maintainer of load-applet.
Improvements are planned and more suggestions are welcome. Just keep in mind that cpumem-applet aims to be slim and is essentially about the status-area icon, when sending suggestions!
My wiki: User:Tuminoid
