Resource utilization on mac

[plexus]

I am noticing 1.5rc1 on mac consumes some 20% CPU resources when sitting idle. Machine is macbook pro 17" early 2011 8G RAM, 2.2GHz i7. This ~20% seems high to me.

That does seem high. I just posted a RC 2 build for Windows and Linux, and I will be working on the Mac build tonight. I am not seeing those kind of loads on Win or Lin, but will check on my Mac tonight. (Of course it is a billion years old, so just moving the mouse might take 20% of my resources [8^)

thanks,
Jonathan

I just put a new build specifically for Mac here:

Would you mind testing it?

Not sure if the issue was solved for 1.5, but now with 1.6 idle kisslicer takes about 30% CPU at times. I've just restarted it and after fresh start it sits at 15%-20% cpu, which is still more than any other program running now and generally more than one would expect.
