I saw that Squirrel was using a lot of CPU when idle. I ran it through the YourKit profiler and collected some metrics. Here's the spoiler: Squirrel's status bar with the Clock + Memory graph is the offending code. If you disable the status bar in preferences, CPU usage drops to 0.2% from 14%. I checked this on both Mac JDK 6 and Oracle JDK 7 with Ivy Bridge. I recommend killing the clock -- it merely calls repaint() every second and everybody has one... As for the heap usage -- also recommend off by default. End users don't know what garbage collection is. Thanks for a great tool, btw. I've used it for years. YourKit gets a big thumbs up from me, too. |
