Hi Guys,
I like amarok, I don't know why just I like it. Yesterday, when I
switched off amarok I saw the CPU using went down from ~40% to ~3% and
kwin from ~30% to ~1%.
the side effects of this, slower desktop and sometimes is
uncomfortable. My machine has 4GB RAM and nvidia (geforce 8400), but
the CPUs are celeron. The system is 64 bit.
I'm thinking I will change Amarok to Audacious.
Anybody else experienced this or just I'm cursed? :)
Any help thanks in advance!
András

Hi!
>I'm thinking I will change Amarok to Audacious.
Maybe you should have a look at aTunes, rhythmbox, exaile,
gmusicbrowser and jajuk too... :)

I had a lot of stability problems with amarok on opensuse. IMHO it's
not worth the hassle, go with one of the alternatives.

I use amarok all the time, although its not lite, its cpu usage is normally
arround 5-7 % while playing and kwin is arround ~1% (when amarok is minimised
to the tray). When the window is shown the usage is slightly higher(kwin
arround 15%) this i think is because ive got the images applet enabled which
shows a sort of slide show of images with various transitioning effects like
(blending).
im on 2.3.1. what version are you using? try upgrading to the latest? try
disabling a few applets that you dont need or might be heavy.

Strange. First time I hear of this. I've been using Amarok (currently
2.3.1.90) for quite a while, never had this problem.
