Description

The current nice values aren't working very well. If I try to play a mp3 file with starling and then change window to, say, read a sms, the sound gets choppy because Xglamo and e gets all the cpu time. Changing the nice value of Xglamo, enlightenment and starling completely removes this effect, however, rendering becomes a little slower.

  • Type changed from defect to enhancement

I don't know if this is really necessary. Should we truly set the nice ourselves, or should the user nice the application at launch time?

I guess I wasn't very clear...
The current default values are -1 for Xglamo -10 for enlightenment and 1 for applications. Changing the nice to 0 for Xglamo, enlightenment and starling makes the music playback stop skipping. I guess the nice values were added to make animations smooth, but IMHO that shouldn't be the no 1 priority.

I agree with Simon, a choppy mp3 playing sound is really annoying. I'd rather have slower animations than a skipping playback.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

We think we found good nice values.
So i'm closing this as fixed.
