I just noticed something "interesting". I don't know if it's strictly |
| 2 |
gnumeric under ICEWM, or if it's more generic. Open several gnumeric |
| 3 |
spreadsheets. Do not minimize, but open one over top of the other. Run |
| 4 |
"top" in an xterm in that same workspace... |

Actually, minimizing all the spreadsheets and remaining in the same |
| 48 |
workspace similarly reduces cpu usage. Why would gnumeric spreadsheets be |
| 49 |
using cpu just sitting there, visible or behind another program? |
