use-revolution Digest, Vol 23, Issue 9

[John Vokey]

This is even stranger: there are no idle loops, etc., but under  
10.4.2, it uses upwards of 85% CPU time (and the fans come on for  
both my G5s and my powerbooks), but drops to virtually nothing under  
10.3.x.  This is a serious, but peculiar bug.  BTW, Mark's solution  
won't work as I have no scripts associated with the slider (they all  
occur at the card level where the slider value is read).
