Also, artsd has gone back to eating 10-17% of the CPU
for the 60
second
'autosusped if idle for' period after a sound event. After the 60
second
autosuspend period, artsd quiets back down. Why are we setting a
60 second
autosuspend by default? Why not set it to 1 or 5 seconds. It would
sure make TDE
run better giving users back 10-20% of their CPU for the remaining
55 seconds of
the timeout. Further, if the user has sound events enabled for a
bulk of the
events as many sound themes do for TDE, then with an autosuspend
set at 60,
artsd will be basically grinding away full time.
Can we set that to 5 sec by default instead of 60? What are the
pros/cons of
shortening the autosuspend period? I've seen some of the sound
server pages
(pulse - perfect setup page) recommending 1 second for the
setting. Thoughts?
I have that set to 2 seconds on all of my systems, including my PI
and PII clunkers.
Yes, 60 seconds seems absurd.
