PlaneShift

Indeed, thats odd! Could you provide a ooprofile run with sound disabled?

psEffect::Update aka effectManager→Update (psengine:931) does not have a real throttle thus always running at maxspeed.
Of course along with some other things.

Im already planning to move

   	SoundManager->UpdateListener( camera->GetView() );
      SoundManager->playerposition = celclient->GetMainPlayer()->Pos();

to psEngine::UpdatePerFrame because i see no reason to call them more often.

Id suggest that we also move Cel and effectmanager to psEngine::UpdatePerFrame (i was already planning to do that today)
Feel free to go ahead and do that test :) It might save some FPS.

Also this bug maybe related to the number of loaded effects around you or your camera view.
Anyway: Im away for the next hours because there are some RL-things that need attention ;)

Ill start work on this when im back.

Found some time in between and OK here we go:

http://lucky.operswithoutlife.net/cpufix_part1.diff

That patch relocates Cel and Effects and make the whole client less laggy and more responsive.
Especially for slow cpus or gpus.
With that patch you may see what wastes your cpu when minimized .. most likely the Soundmanager ;)
It doesnt fix that cputime problem yet as that will be cpufix_part2 (to be written).

When using csticks i knew that they would become an issue earlier or later.
I added it to my todo list but hoped for the later thing ;)
Ill raise the priority of that "task" and you may expect a patch to be delivered today.

Edit: psEngine::FrameLimit has also problems with this. Ill fix also that one.

Bug confirmed. Cause is that we dont stop/pause Sound/Music if planeshift is minimized.

My implementation isnt complete yet. Many necessary things and features are still missing.
Fix for this bug is postponed till sound priorization (a planned feature) is added.

Any progress on this?

marked medium, crashes leaks ect are more important

this is a regression and it's done because you don't pause streams. in some systems see pulseaudio this can be worse than the system you've aimed to replace

How could this be worse? Only time this even comes into effect is when its minimised.

you said nothing… and it comes in effect even when not focused. you know people can do multiple things at the same time
