Squeak 5.0 running hot

Joseph Alotta
I just installed squeak 5.0 all in one, and it had a workspace open with a bunch of old Array joins, and one growers window.  

The whole running Squeak was hidden on my OS/X, while I was reading email for about half an hour.

Suddenly my computer started to become hot and the fan when on.  So I looked at running processes and Squeak was on the top of the list with %6 of cpu time and the next highest rounded to zero.

Has anyone looked into why Squeak is running hot?


Sincerely,

Joe.

Hello Joe,

on my 2010 Win 7 Laptop an idle Squeak 5.0 with several windows uses no cpu and a Squeak 3.8 with a MagnifierMorph (screen magnifier) uses between 2 and 3 percent.

In 5.0, Tools, ProcessBrowser, right click in the pane with the processes, auto update, right click again, start cpu watcher and see who uses CPU in Squeak. I have 14% UI process and 86% idle.

OTOH at 6% CPU no laptop should get hot and turn on the fan. Maybe you only see your processes and some system process got busy. No Mac so no idea if this applies.


Cheers,


Herbert
