doesnt seem to matter what i have running, CPU usage is always up with
those two. i realize i have an old graphics card but within the
recommended hardware. desktop bg is a plain colour, nothing fancy. have
one panel with 5 widgets. default desktop effects and possibly less
enabled. i do have KSensors in the tray to monitor CPU temp since i
typically run near 100% usage causing heat issues. there was only one
time when i noticed the CPU usage drop off which occurred right after a
boot. as soon as i started an app the usage jumped back up and stayed
there even after closing it. im not comfortable enough with linux
processes to know which ones i can kill.
