[Kstars-devel] KStars 1.0 CPU Usage

[Jason Harris]

I've seen something similar to Alessio's problem.  On my desktop, I 
would get X using most of the CPU.  After some research, I found that 
disabling DRI completely fixed the problem.  That was with a Radeon 
video card.  I have an Nvidia card now, and haven't had the problem 
since I switched.  Based on this, I concluded that my problem was due 
to a bad Radeon dri driver.
