(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I am finding that Slacko is very busy and runs hotter than the older puppy I had.

In fact, it is so busy that the screen saver never activates. I've tried getting rid of unnecessary processes and system tray icons but it is still busy, as much as 8% cpu when doing nothing.

What can I do?

What processes are running when nothing is going on? Which ones are using 8% CPU? Can you be more specific please?

Nothing much, just the normal processes, about 25 of them.

I think it's this:
/bin/ash/ /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d

It keeps bringing up "sleep 2" much more frequently than the lupu puppy.

It just seems very busy doing nothing.
