You are correct that the CPU use is in the 3-5% range,
that in
itself isn't the
problem. The problem is that it is ALWAYS 3-5% and ALWAYS at the
top of the
list. That signifies a runaway process in tdepowersave that is not
playing
nicely. tdepowersave should only require 3-5% of the cpu when it
does something,
not continually. tdepowersave should only be monitoring input and
starting
timers, screensavers, suspend, etc.... Those are all negligible
and darn sure
less that was X is doing. So there is a live Gremlin in
tdepowersave somewhere....
Yes, I understood that ALWAYS 3% is an unhealthy indication. That
was what I was implying when I shared that kmix and knotification-
daemon were always at about 2%.
I don't know whether Slavek's patch will remedy the ALWAYS problem,
but we should look at all three apps for why they are consistently
at the top of top.

The only thing that looks out of place is 'tdepowersave' in top. Of course kmix
is dead for me, but everything else look OK.

When on the old 3.5.13-sru install, I checked top. No problem with kpowersave
there. The only issue there was artsd eating 10-12% CPU.

Interesting. I have 3.5.13.2on my X61. When I disconnect the power line, then kpowersave

that restarts kpowersave when it consumes more than 50% cpu :-)

Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

That would be an interesting test. I run most test installs in vitrualbox, so
pulling the plug isn't an option. I have 3.5.13-sru-1 installed on a desktop,
but pulling power there......
I have suse's 3.5 on a laptop and there are no kpowersave issues. We should
check with Ilya or Robert and see what they are doing to kpowersave. I'm on the
kde3 list there. I'll ask.
