Re: Reducing the refresh rate of CPU Load input of the Host Info patch



I'm using the CPU Load value from the Host Info patch for a screen saver type quartz composition of mine. My problem is that the value itself refreshes way to often and the process is using too much processor power. I'm looking for a way to restrict the call to the CPU Load value to about once a second, effectively reducing processor usage.

This unlikely comes from the Host Info patch as it uses very little processing power. How do you know the process is using too much power and how do you measure it? The problem may actually be in what you do with the information retrieved from Host Info.
