Bugzilla – Bug 15314
SqueezePlay 7.4.x consumes too much CPU
Last modified: 2011-01-14 00:41:54 UTC
I am using SqueezePlay to control my squeezebox(es) (not to play music on the computer). It constantly uses about 12% CPU on my 2.53GHz Core Duo Macbook Pro, even with the Squeezeboxes turned off. This is way too much CPU usage for a remote control app. There must be some polling or other actions happening too frequently.
If this is the same code that runs on Squeezebox Duet remote as well, it could be a real drain on the battery.
FWIW: 7.5 is at about 5% on my 2.26 Mac Mini. Don't know whether this can be translated in to the Controller.
