If anyone wants to experiment, try reducing the refresh rate of 70<br>
times per second to something like 10 times per second. Look for the<br>
2 statements "d->drawTimer->start(1000 / 70);" in mythmainwindow.cpp<br>
and change the 70 to 10, then see how much it reduces the CPU usage<br>
when idle.<br></blockquote><div><br>So your guess is that it would be the change to mythui that increased the cpu usage for even a simple theme like mythcenter. <br></div></div>
