[Plugin: WP-Cumulus] CPU Usage ?

  • To begin with, I thank you for this great plugin.

    But
    What about the cpu usage ?

    Displaying the current latest wp cumulus on my blog, I remarked that the cpu usage is incredibly high.

    Is there a way to “cut” the display process when the mouse is not over the flash ?

    ( and calling it to reactivate the process, like an “interrupt” in our x86 CPUs )

  • Flash has a tendency to hog the cpu, without actually causing the PC to become sluggish. The numbers that Windows reports are usually a bit overdrawn. On my Intel E6600-based PC the movie never causes more than 25% processor load, and I can have several playing at the same time without the machine becoming unresponsive. The movie will stop animating after the mouse exits, which should help a little,

    That being said, WP-Cumulus is basically a toy, and I guess everyone has to decide for themselves whether it is worth the extra weight. Making the movie smaller (in terms of display dimensions) will help a little.

    Thanks,

    well Yes, but in the same time WP-Cumulus is an interresting extra.

    With some of my old computer, it can brind the CPU up to 40% (under linux).

    So i find it strange, and I ‘m there is a way to “cut” the process.

    If the flash cannot itself ( i’m not a flah expert ) maybe with some flash + javascript.

    For the next version, I’ll look into actually stopping some loops if the movie isn’t animating. That should really cut down on processor time.
