Package: gkrellmd Version: 2.3.1-1 Severity: minor I've been running gkrellmd for several years now. It used to use 5-6% of a 33MHz 486 CPU, which seemed reasonable. It still uses 5-6% (average, standard deviation around 2%) of my two modern CPUs: a 1.8GHz Sempron on one machine and a 2.2GHz AthlonXP on another. In both cases I have set update-hz to 1 to minimise the load, but still the CPU usage fluctuates between about 3% and about 8%, and not infrequently outside that range.
It's not the end of the world but it seems odd that polling once per second could use 5% of a 2GHz CPU. CC
