But given hos GPUs work it's not much of a cost to keep "smooth scaling of window content" on and it looks far better. If you are software compositing, then "smooth scaling of window content" under composite settings -> rendering will be a lot more expensive. it makes the cpu sample the entire source window content and calculate a full super-sampled downscaled version. if you start e with software rendering in the wizard, smooth scaling is off by default. first - are you using software or gl? believe it or not i and man other users i have heard from have accidentally switched to software and didn't notice for days, weeks or even months, then they have some performance bottlenecks in some places, notice a lot of cpu being used by enlightenment and find they are not using GL. so it's happened even to me. second - if you can't use gl... try turning off smooth scaling under composite settings -> rendering -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - [email protected] _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
