I just switched from version 4.3 to 5.0. I like the new features, thank you.
But I have 5.0 running, hidden from my desktop, and I am reading my mail. I notice the laptop is getting very warm on the bottom. I look at the Activity Monitor and find that Squeak 5.0 accounts for 50% of my processing load. (I have 4 cores, so I think it is 50% of all 4.) When I save and quit Squeak, it immediately starts to cool off. Again, Squeak 4.3 could run hidden in a window and never affect my power consumption. What is 5.0 doing that 4.3 is not? Sincerely, Joe. _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |
Hi Joseph, nothing in the base Squeak 5 should make your image that busy.
You might be able to get a list of things your image is doing by executing this code in a workspace: MessageTally spyAllOn: [ (Delay forSeconds: 10) wait ] Wait 10 seconds for the window to appear.

Thanks Chris. I will keep this in an open window and let you know if I see something.
