CPU usage when idle - bluezed - 2015-12-03
Hi there,
I've been using this skin for a while now and really like it. It's my default skin on all my Kodi installations now so thanks a lot for it
One small issue I'm having on my main HTPC running Ubuntu 15.10 and Kodi 15.2 and v2.0.7 of the skin. When I'm in the main menu and not using the machine the screen dims as expected after the 10 minutes timeout I've set but the CPU appears to be utilized at a constant 15% with spikes up to 30-35%.
I have no widgets or weather info or fancy backgrounds set. All just static.
As a comparison with the Aeon Nox 5 skin the CPU idles at between 5-10% and with Confluence around 8-12%.
To put this into perspective... when I stream 720p video the CPU does not usually go over 25%.
Any idea what the cause could be? Or any additional information you require from me?
Many thanks!
