Using flash8 outlined in another post and using the 4in1 via drivers and I'm still averaging around 35% - 40% cpu usage with spikes upto 85% - 100%

i dont have the same setup, but i found that i got spikes from 85%-100% when wireless was enabled. It was trying to look for unavailable APs. Try disabling wireless, that fixed my problem. I'm usually running around 15%-40% depending upon which apps are loaded, i'm also using GPSgate and not Xport

There is really nothing in the skin that should cause any CPU usage really. There are scripts that do certain things when some buttons are pressed, but when you are just sitting idle, any CPU usage is from RR itself, winamp, and any other applications that are running.

Try switching to the BMV2 skin that came with RR and test this for me. It should be the same CPU usage.

EDIT:

Here is a screen capture on my desktop system. Sure it's a Dual Core 2.8 Ghz, but at the time, in comparison, it's using next to nothing as far as CPU. In the screen capture, I have the spinning Flash logo, and winamp is playing a song. Keep in mind I also had Firefox open, The screen capture program, 5 Yahoo desktop widgets, and oodles of other things running in the system tray.

When I close RR and look at the desktop Yahoo CPU widget, I still am running at 3-4% CPU, so the same with the skin running, and without basically.

you have to edit the .skin file and set the label tooltip to "f2c" for that label to display it in Celsius.

Thanks Guino! Man you really do keep up with things around here!

On another note, what do you guys think of the bar behind the bottom row buttons on the screen capture above? Was thinking on making it an option to turn it on and off so you could have it display or not. Possibly a few variations of texture and lighter/darker ones as well to choose from.

I'm not a fan of it but i could see where on some backgrounds it would look better and or help with the appearance of the screen. Like the idea of being able to turn on and off.

Do I disable the wireless in the skin or thru the wireless manager ? I could figure it out by trial and error. But the only time I get to work on the computer is on my 35 mile commute to and from work. Driving 70mph and trying to read the small font, while trying to make corrections is difficult.

I probably wouldn't use it; but if it can be disabled and other people find it helpful, there's no reason not to make it available.

Try removing USB devices one at a time to see if it makes a difference. I had a USB to serial adapter that was using close to 50% of my CPU.
