WB5 & Opera Browser

lag with bookmarks

Wednesday, December 7, 2005 by HauntingMorgana | Discussion: WindowBlinds

While WB5 is active, using the Opera browser, while clicking on the bookmarks it seems that my system lags.

Meaning, as soon as I click on the bookmarks, taskmanager shows like 30% cpu usage. This has never happened with WB4.

Unloading WB5 there is no problem with clicking on the Opera bookmarks.

Thanks.

Hmmm, I notice a cpu rise when clicking links too. I don't think this is unusual, IE does the same, but to a lesser extent. Dunno...

Thanks for the reply. Well, at least it's not my imagination then.

Same here with Opera. Using Firefox 1.5 it jumps to 60-80% momentarily. Don't think its a anything major though.

I just tried it with Opera and got a brief peak of 2 or 3% to 22% but no noticable system lag. Similarly with FF, a brief peak up to 23%, and in IE a peak of 25%, no lag.

I should point out that the firefox menus are not skinned by WB, so its not WB impacting the cpu usage there.

In Opera it seems there was a problem with how WB repainted menus when you moved up & down them.  This has been tweaked for the next beta build which should be downloadable via SDC later today.
