GTKSpinner being a resource hog has definitely been a kind of general problem in the past. I have a bug open for a case where it was eating 70% of CPU time on a *bare metal* nouveau system: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732199 I'll have to check that again with the latest bits. Evolution devs have obviously had issues with it before too, because when I reported that case to them (the spinner that was actually eating my CPU time was in Evo), they ripped GTKSpinner out and re-introduced their own custom spinner: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732180 just other data on the general topic of 'a little UI element seems to take more resources than you'd think it would'. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
