How much cpu time does X use idling? It seems to be using A LOT on my system...

Nothinman · Feb 10, 2002

Virtually none, like any idling program.

Something must be messed then, it says my kde stuff is using almost 70% of my cpu... seti is only getting 28%!

what programs do you have loaded?

kde and X are 2 totally different things...but if kde is using that much cpu and youre not even doing anything, something is fishy

Oh well, I fixed it, look like a pile of garbage was stuck in an inifite loop, i reset it, and it does seem to be working fine now

If anything, it's your RAM usage that should be up there.

KDE/X combined usually takes less than 0.7% CPU usage for me.
