Hi Dan,
Are you sure you're getting 30% CPU usage and not 0.3% CPU usage? Top’s
output is %CPU not an integer value.
You said you had a stock install of MX/TDE, what was Conky showing for total
CPU usage?
My core2 duo has:
14 - kworker processes
165 - total process
0.7% max cpu for a kworker (most that weren't 0% were 0.3%)
4% - Max CPU usage per Conky (mostly ~2%)
4.19 - Kernel version
Another data point,
Michael

Guys,
Thanks for the replies, and the ideas. The machine went back to its
owner this evening running XFCE. I'll see it again at some point,
probably on the weekend, and will try these most recent ideas then. Or
maybe I'll see if Antix works better in this case, although I prefer MX.
I have a core2 duo (10yo dell laptop) that I did the tde.pm testing on last
weekend. I'll fire it up tomorrow and see if I can recreate the issue.
