#32 100% CPU at all times, even when not recording
I experience, when using gtk-recordMyDesktop version 0.3.7.2 (as seen in the about box)
100% CPU at all times, even when not recording. This occurs as soon as I start the application, and continues until I close the application.
This causes, as can be imagined, my window system to be jumpy (moving windows is sluggish and slow).
However, the actual recording process still works.
A possible side-affect I experience (but if not a side affect it is a separate bug) is that the sound (which worked without configurations, thank you!) to be quickly out of sync with the video. I am hoping that were the CPU usage problem fixed, this would also come into line.
Also, regarding the 'sound out of sync' symptom. The reason I believe these are related is because the way the sound recorded seems to stagger, and skip, as one could imagine it might under a high CPU load. So, yes, while the sound works (amazing considering recent pulse audio problems) it is not very easy to listen to. I believe it highly likely that this is due to the above mentioned CPU usage problem.
Also, this is a reasonably fast system with an Intel Core Duo 2, 2.4 GHz
