Ted, Everything has a price, and to be able to give users the experience that we planned of course we will need more resources than the usual. But even with that said, we worked hard this week to really improve this. But again: you're in the developers list so you know the device limitations. We already cut the cpu usage in more than 50% but if you need to draw smooth graphic movements, no way you can do this (like pixel by pixel scrolling text) without using more cpu than a static gtk application. Browser is one of the hungriest application, but I was able to open it with Canola even without closing canola. Of course this depends on the site you're visiting.. how many images / flash it has and of course how many cpu / memory this behavior will consume. So, if any help is need in order to improve the usage, just contact us in the #canola channel on irc.freenode.net or via our garage project : http://garage.maemo.org/projects/canola/ BR Marcelo On 12/6/06, Ted Zlatanov <tzz at bu.edu> wrote: > On 5 Dec 2006, krischan.keitsch at alumni.tu-berlin.de wrote: > > > I installed Canola (great app btw) and noticed that other apps won't start > > anymore, even when there is enough swap space available. > > > > For example: I have Opera and the mail client runing and want to launch a > > third app. I see a high cpu load which fades away after some seconds > > but the app will not start. > > > > Before I installed Canola I was able to run as many apps as I wanted until I > > ran out of swap space. > > > > I still use itos 2006 28-6, have a 40mb swap partition and the urgend feeling > > that something has changed!
