Need help for code optimation

[slyphnier]

hello guys,

i am new to this forum
if someone have free time, i need little help to take this skin below, and how to optimize it
the skin running without problem, except it using quite high CPU usage (around 12% on i7 950)

its part of Qsystem skin (http://burnwell88.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2yvsmn)

i tried email the developer too, but i thought it might be faster to get help in here
hope someone can help

thanks in advance

[smurfier]

It's the Update=40 part. You can increase that number to make things more CUP efficient, but the rotators will move slower.

[slyphnier]

thanks for the info smurfier

so seems not much we can about it...
do rainmeter have delay function ?
maybe it wont different, but i am thinking stacking/queing few order/command every refresh

instead 40ms refresh, 1000ms refresh but each refresh run A > delay > run B > delay > run C and so on ...
i didn't know much programing so it might still cpu intensive (nothing different)

[MerlinTheRed]

That skin basically only does an animation. If you delayed commands within it and then did them all at the same time, the animation would look weird. If you just increase the update rate the animation will look slower but likely still fluid.

[smurfier]

I've reduced the code a bit. With the lack of the image files, and my limited knowledge of the Rotator meter, I cannot be sure that this code will work perfectly.

thanks for the time modding the code smurfier :bow2:
the code working just right (no errors)

but too bad it still taking cpu, seems still same (on i7 950 it using 12.5%)
your code is better than the original one though

that rotator look really cool on the desktop, but using 12.5% isnt really good things
