[Visualpython-users] high cpu load when idle

[Maxim K. <max...@gm...>]

Hi

I'm running visual python 3.2.1 with python 2.3.5 on Debian-unstable.

After running from the python interpreter
>>> from visual import *
>>> c=curve(pos=[[0,0]])

the VPython window appears, and the CPU consumption by Xorg
goes to around 45%-50% (I don't have hardware openGL)
When using pyopengl directly, I don't see such behaviour.

Does this mean that vpython constantly redraws the same model,
even when the model is not changed?
If so, how can this be avoided?
