CPU use of screens

Hi!

Does screens consume cpu that isn't presently shown, that is, is plugins polled etc for screens not currently shown on the LCD? or can I safely have lots of screens and switch between them without a heavy cpu load?

The load is too low to even register.

If you want to check just open task manager in windows while Smartie is running.

I get 0 most of the time with some spikes here and there to 2%, sounds normal?

that's perfectly normal

if you want to see what your cpu does stressed you can try dragging a window, or playing a game.

Also you can try to calculate Pi or do some other cpu benchmark
