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.
