Wild-ass guess: polling for file changes.
- rjzzleep 14y agoi'm pretty certain they use fsevents for file changes on osx. 5% blank sounds more like the typical inefficiencies in either certain java or macosx things. back when I switched back to linux a couple years back I noticed that the glowing ok button would cause a cpu spike of 4-5% on my core2duo macbook pro. Have you tried turning power save mode on?
- rayiner 14y ago5% is with power save on. MacOS X apps do not just use 5% for the hell of it. Vico, Sublime Text, Textmate, Emacs, Chocolat all use 0% when sitting there doing nothing.
