Firstly, thanks Pecinko for a great skin.
I'm new to these forums but have been tinkering with XBMC for a little while. I've just installed raspbmc on a new raspberry pi, and am using Quartz as my preferred skin. The interface looks great, but I've been noticing some weird performance.
The CPU jumps up to basically 100% when idle on the home screen. It's fine when in the general TV show or Movie pages, but for some reason it on the home screen it thrashes the CPU. It seems isolated to Quartz aswell, as the cpu idles fine in Confluence and even Quartz Reloaded. I'm stumped as to why this might be, Quartz is such a minimal skin, there's no flashy graphics or rss feeds...
It doesn't seem to be an isolated problem either, having been reported by others: http://openelec.tv/forum/124-raspberry-p...pi-100-cpu, http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?pid=1151595, and in the comments http://youresuchageek.blogspot.com.au/20...ec-on.html.
Any ideas as to why this may be? Is it a problem with Raspbmc, or with the skin? Any help out there would be greatly appreciated, I'm also happy to supply more info if need be.
Nate
