[java-gnome-hackers] Optimizing idle loop

[Niranjan R. <nh...@gm...>]

Greetings,

There are somethings I need to do in the idle loop.  I have added my 
handler stub implementing Handler interface - in other words there is no 
logic in the method apart from return statement. I have noticed that if 
I add the idle handler, process CPU immediately jumps high and keeps one 
CPU at 100% according to top command. CPU usage jumps to normal if I 
don't add the handler.

Given that idle method is getting called large number of times, is there 
anything I can do so that CPU does not jump to 100%? As noted above, I 
have not yet started with my implementation yet, this is just stub 
function returning true.

Regards,

Niranjan
