I had posted a while back about CPU usage issues with the Eden betas, at which time I was shown the advancedsettings.xml portion that controls the dirty region rendering. Using the default skin on the home screen, I now see 0% usage (with the news ticker off). I believe I currently have the following dirty region settings in advancedsettings.xml:
<algorithmdirtyregions>1</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>1000</nofliptimeout>
Here are my new questions:
Do skins need to be re-coded to work with the dirty region rendering? I wouldn't think so, but if I change from the default Eden skin to, say, Aeon Nox, I have CPU usage at the home screen. Changing back to the default skin brings it back to 0%.
Does the dirty rendering not apply to library views? Again, I notice some CPU usage when sitting at the Movie library view (with no scrolling plot summary or anything).
Are my settings somehow causing CPU usage on non-home screens/non-default skins?
Right now I'm just sticking with the default skin, and as part of my remote control macro, getting XBMC back to the home screen when I turn everything off - but I'd prefer to not have to rely on that should it not work for whatever reason. It'd be nice to just know there was no CPU usage when I'm not watching something.
Thanks for any help!
