Thanks for the info. Norbert, I didn't knew about that UI thread handler in Seaside. I'll check that out. Phil On Mon, May 27, 2013 at 9:49 AM, Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven@stfx.eu> wrote:

I am currently experimenting with Pharo on Amazon EC2.
I'd like to keep the CPU usage low for when Pharo hasn't anything special to do.
At the moment, I see that Pharo uses 2-3% of the CPU when just blinking the caret.
Is there a way to get that lower? Even if it means tweaking the VM.
The OS is Ubuntu 12 LTS
Thanks!
It would definitively by better if we could get CPU usage when idle very close to 0%.
But IMO the current situation is not really a problem. Actual load problems will still be caused by real load, not by idle instances. Anyway, that is what I see on production machines with multiple Pharo instances next to many other processes.

BTW, load & cpu usage numbers can be very hard to interpret.
