Hello folks,
I got a (maybe) short question about the CPU usage, though it is not a support-question and more sort of a general talk, I think this forum will be ok (and if I post to discussion forum I may be redirected to support forum )
Ever since I use kodi, I noticed that even if kodi is doing nothing and if all displays are off,
there is constantly about 1-2-3% CPU usage (pentium CPU, maybe lower on i3, i5, i7...) from the kodi.bin.
I know it is not much and nowadays noone would give a rat's ass for 1 or 2 percent cpu...
...my question is out of interest:
What is causing this CPU load?
Motivation:
My machine is 24/7 on, and I don't want kodi to shut down and restart every time I switch on the display,
so kodi is also on 24/7...and none of my other running services use CPU (even if only 1%) if they're doing nothing, so I wondered what kodi is polling or what else causes this behaviour.
thx!
