Processor Usage

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I think this widget has some great potential. I like the layout and the features. The one thing I would like to see possibly is the current price on Amazon (or where ever) so I don't have to click on it and have my web browswer open. By the way, click on the "little DVD" and watch it spin :)

The only issue now keeping me from using it is the Processor Usage. It seems to be sucking the most amount of CPU time out of all my widgets when in Dashboard mode. I've got about a dozen other widgets running and none use even half the CPU time as this. Also, when I return to my normal desktop mode, the widget still seems to be using the CPU at almost the same rate. Hopefully this will just be a small fix for the next release. This is the only thing holding me back from recommending the product.

Processor Usage - maxmac

I have a fix for this coming in about 7 days. It will reduce the non-dashboard mode CPU usage to nothin'.
