I am running Fedora 9, and my KDE4.1 is provided by kde-redhat. kde-redhat (Rex Dieter and others) provide up to date/testing KDE packages which I have used since RH8. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RexDieter and be sure to read his Blog :) > >> When I enable Desktop Effects kwin and xorg take about 30% of the CPU > >> each. kwin sometimes takes as much as 80%, this is slowing down my > >> machine heaps.

Hmm, perhaps this is an Nvidia thing? it works for me on this box which has an Nvidia card/chipset running Livna's rpms. I just ran a test: No Vsync [g6avk@localhost ~]$ top |grep kwin 2596 g6avk 20 0 107m 28m 14m S 2.0 2.8 4:02.15 kwin 2596 g6avk 20 0 107m 28m 14m R 2.0 2.8 4:02.21 kwin With Vsync [g6avk@localhost ~]$ top |grep kwin 2596 g6avk 20 0 102m 28m 14m S 42.7 2.8 4:04.23 kwin 2596 g6avk 20 0 102m 28m 14m R 39.2 2.8 4:05.41 kwin Here is one of the bug reports: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154270 > > There was also a bug causing heavy CPU use if you had the Lock/Logout > > widget in the Panel, but I think this could of been fixed now.

I would de a search there first though, at the moment I can't find the bug # for Lock/Logout one.
