Extremely high CPU usage - GoogleVoice, Pandora, Etc

Very long time user of Fluid, and it's been a great app for me. Until recently.**
Fluidinstance`s require 5-6x the CPU usage compared to Safari. Additionally, if I leave *ANY* of my SSB's open for close to 24 hours,(i.e during/after sleep) processor usage can be as high as 100%, and sometimes cause all other WebKit apps to freak out, and become unresponsive.

For instance;
-I have a Fluid SSB for GoogleVoice, which runs ~22-27% at startup, and increases over time.
-Pandora SSB running as a MenuExtra SSB runs about the same as above, but spikes to 100% during song changes(presumably while queueing the next song, and firing off the Growl notification of song) -same escalating CPU %, as well.
[Safari in contrast, uses 4.5%.]

I used to assume this was due to Pandora.com using Flash. (Flash is such a joy using my MBPro during the winter months when my fingers are cold.) ;)

Adt'l info:
OS, all apps, and plugins are all latest versions
Fluid; 0.9.6
Newest ClickToFlash

** The past several months

Same issue here. Changed my Twitter password in light of the Phishing crap going on, tried to update my password in settings, and Skitch says "Invalid username/password" I'm bummed.

A comment on the question "Twitter Rate Limit" in The Cosmic Machine:

I would find this infinitely more usable if there was a control in the prefs for how often the "non crucial" twitter functions were refreshed. I for one, would sacrifice the DM's & reply notifications for speedy normal tweets. (sans API lockouts)

I can see my @ replies in my normal timeline, and DM's get notified by email.

I'd personally set DM's to every 5-7 minutes, and @ replies to every 15. Or, perhaps off, if I could manually invoke a refresh by clicking the appropriate subcategory.

[UPDATE]
Correction: Just looked again. I was using NatsuLion with a 45 second refresh rate. – AceyTech, on November 30, 2008 01:02

I also have this problem. I had 2 API limits within my first 1.5 hours of trying out EventBox. I'm a recent defector from NatsuLion, which I used for 3+ months., at a :01 refresh.
FYI: I've been in API lockout for the last :25 at :02 refresh.

It seems that EventBox burns thru API calls abnormally fast; at 4 hits per event.(from what I can tell) Even at a refresh of 2 mins, it's unusable to me after :40 - :45.

[From What I can tell] NatsuLion uses 3 on startup, but only uses 1 for each refresh. —manual or auto.

Sure would be cool if you could add some dynamic rate limiting (ala Twirl). Maybe slow the rate of certain(i.e. DM's) requests while a user is tweeting a lot., or near the end of their allotted hourly amount.

I'd also love to see the "per service" (hidden/visible) pane status remembered...

Doesn't work for me either. When selected, it switches to Mail.app, but does not invoke a new msg window..

Hey Todd., Have there been any breakthru's that might make changing the homepage possible without recreating the SSB?

This has annoyed me as well. I'd really love it if this was fixable.. Pretty please?? I'll buy you a beer!

Hear.app audio events as MenuExtra SSB

Is there a reason why Fluid MenuExtra SSB's don't get recognized as a running application to "Hear"? http://www.joesoft.com/products/hear.php (essentially a iWow type app, for all system audio, not just iTunes) When ran as a normal application, the audio events work just fine, and as intended. I've also reported this to Joesoft, and awaiting a response.

Fluid menu extra tab drag bug

Minor annoyance bug: In a MenuExtra SSB with multiple tabs open:
After you switch between tabs, you can drag in the lower right corner of the status bar, and it's the same operation as drag/move a tab.(to reorder, etc)

1Password - Browsa Browsa plugins

1Password operation via right/ctrl click is not accessible when using multiple Browsa Browsa plugins with Fluid Version 0.9.2.5. Main window works fine, but it doesn't show up in secondary panes.

AceyTech replied on July 18, 2008 21:03 to the question "Twinkle network having trouble?" in Tapulous:

Hi Chris, Cheers to the gang for working so hard to get Twinkle restored..

Feature request: Might it be possible to have Twinkle disable the location awareness if it can't reach your servers? (With user alert of this limitation)

This way; We still get to use the best Twitter client out there, and you guys still look good, while you're fixing what's under the hood.

Thanks again, Cheers!

A comment on the problem "What is being done about FolloWhores?" in Twitter:

Read again Thomas.. Item #1 above: follows 5-10 *times* the amount of people that are following 'said person'

Obama follows 1:1(nearly) A system that used these 3 rules above, would not consider him a FolloWhore.

Thanks for joining in over here tho! – AceyTech, on July 16, 2008 03:51
