I been using Advanced Launcher but it seems that the CPU usage of XBMC is still around 25%. This is a problem for my laptop, not sure about my desktop yet, I'll find out when the parts come in. I think there is a way to Suspend XBMC though while you're gaming so it uses 0% CPU but not sure if it still works with latest releases of Advanced Launcher and XBMC.Any running application use CPU resources even if it is minimized or do not have the focus. To avoid this your have two solutions :
Edit: Tried some keywords into google and just found that in general XBMC can have high cpu usage for a variety of reasons and that it's being worked on in Gotham. Optimization work is never over! =D. I guess I'll have to do what other people do and try to get it to close XBMC then open it back up when done.
- Suspend XBMC > Start your application > Close your application > Restore XBMC : scripts for Windows and Linux
- Close XBMC > Start your application > Close your application > Restart XBMC : scripts for Windows and Linux
These methods use system scripts to affect operating system processes (suspend, restore, close and start), so they are not linked to a specific XBMC or Advanced Launcher version, and so are fully compatibles with XBMC and Advanced Launcher.
