I use amarok all the time, although its not lite, its cpu usage is normally |
| 7 |
arround 5-7 % while playing and kwin is arround ~1% (when amarok is minimised |
| 8 |
to the tray). When the window is shown the usage is slightly higher(kwin |
| 9 |
arround 15%) this i think is because ive got the images applet enabled which |
| 10 |
shows a sort of slide show of images with various transitioning effects like |
| 11 |
(blending). |

disabling a few applets that you dont need or might be heavy. |
