[SOLVED] firefox audacious claws-mail full cpu usage

[gseba]

Hi,

It seemed to happen only for firefox. But upon connection claws-mail to an IMAP mail account, or when running audacious, both CPU's (Pentium Dual Core Inside) are 99% not nicely used.

Before connecting, claws-mail had no problem with CPU usage.
With firefox and audacious there is always full CPU usage.

I switched on and off some options from the kernel and without CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL works well now.
