* [<tt>2008-11-10</tt>] - High CPU load when burning dvds in '''k3b'''

Eg.: burn a DVD in ''K3b'', open ''htop'' and note ''X'' load, open KDE ''kcontrol'', enable and disable back ''Baghira'' button animation, open ''htop'' again and compare current ''X'' load (problem is that the load is now smaller meaning the previou settings was not kept).

Problems / Solutions

  • [2008-11-10] - High CPU load when burning dvds in k3b
    • Solution: load apparently due to KDE Baghira style animations → disable all widgets animations (button animations, use Baghira style progress bars...)
  • [2008-11-10] - High X load due to KDE Baghira animated widgets
    • Solution: disable all widgets animations in Baghira (disable button animations, use Baghira style progress bars...)
    • Next problem: disable button animation settings seems not to be kept. Eg.: burn a DVD in K3b, open htop and note X load, open KDE kcontrol, enable and disable back Baghira button animation, open htop again and compare current X load (problem is that the load is now smaller meaning the previou settings was not kept).
