Hi all,

Just bought n900 recently cause finally it seemed to be device/OS/development community I was waiting for.

Being a new to maemo and linux I installed lots of stuff - mainly trying to install the tested or apps under test. Now desktop operations seem to be twice as slow as they used to be when switching between processes. It hangs for seconds sometimes or even longer.

I assume some process (maybe the one that is registering in the system area?) is taking load during switching off desktops or to/from settings panels and processes, etc.

Could someone please advise on how I could try to troubleshoot the problem? Guess this is a naive question so -maybe there is some stuff to read to get educated on that..?

P.S. Maybe it's stupid but I noticed via htop that XOrg is run with verbose logging mode... Can this be the reason of slowing the perf. down?

Thanks in advance,
Anton

have you rebooted your device? does it help at all?

read this:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=42500

probably some widget or daemon is slowing down it. There is also some bugs that will be fixed in next fw e.g.pulseaudio uses cpu after phone call in idle state.

Hi all,

@ossipena, reboot helped for a certain period of time, yes. I'll try to notice the conditions under which the problem re-appears.

@slender, thanks a lot for this link. It seems to be very similar to the problem in question. I'll keep an eye on it.

Regards,
Anton
