I'll fire it up tomorrow and see if I can recreate the issue. 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 PS: As a tip for making old hardware work better, see this wiki post: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Tips_And_Tricks#Un-Bogging_down_an_Older_system ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
