PL GUI cpu% useage

[edkiefer]

I am posting here cause I am not sure, but from memory PL GUI I think used to use about or little more than MSI AB or other monitoring app .

But with default setting I am seeing 10x more in CPU time , heavily dependent on whether PL is minimized or not but even in tray it seems heaver usage than what i remember in past .

Trying to see if I can track down what it is, I have disabled log , module options but still seems a lot .

How much?

At here, with I5-3210m, I get 0.16 CPU usage per second only while minimized, and 1.xx CPU usage while showing.

That sounds about same, I even run refresh of 2sec .
I just thought it was much lower before . seems so high when open .
I have graph off too .

i5-3570k@4.2

minimized PE shows almost constant 0.04 and PL open about 1.0 avg
BTW, that is way more than Process Explorer , that only goes to 0.30 with it open , running and it has fast refresh/updating .
Edit: I have update set to 1sec on PE so it is same as default PL but looks faster .

Yup, the GUI can optimize, but I think continue optimize it might not the right choose, and a rewrite might be the choose, as GUI sometimes can be buggy.
Maybe it is time to making it more simper, or more simper to access the info that you need.

For PE, not sure about it, but you know who write it.
