#2 100% CPU usage with sad_tree
When selecting the sad_tree theme the python process uses all of the CPU, it hangs after this point:
luminary: sun
STATUS: waxcres
IMG: sun
weather1: cloud
Extra layer:
svg_list: ['daysky', 'sun', 'few', '', 'goodtree1-1', 'spring', '', 'nightshade', '']
I'm using 32-bit Jaunty, latest version of the program.
Didn't mean to say hang; 100% CPU usage after this point. It does seem to recover if you leave it for about a minute or two and then this is written to the terminal:
XXX: 1080.0
YYY: 640.0
Background saved in /home/chrisw/.dynamic-wallpaper/.wallpaper.svg
ICON: /usr/share/dynamic-wallpaper/images/suncloud.png
This is known issue, as noted in the wiki. High CPU is expected when using themes with complex SVGs. On 1,6 Ghz Centrino Duo it takes between one and two minutes to merge the wallpaper. If this is not acceptable for you, please use some of the more simple themes. Improvements in this direction are expected in next version, but not in immediate future.
That's a similar spec to my laptop, that'll be why then. Thanks.
