Re: [orca-list] Orca being restless

Hi Mike,

Do you notice any diffrence in behaviour, between 1E-3 and the default?
The things to try might be:

1. opening firefox with a large webpage, and using structural navigation
2. performing read all of a long document.
3. rough estimate, is the wait the same when you are opening a large 
nautilus directory listing?

If no negative inpact I would be tempted to see what 1E-2 does.
If you are using magnification, does the jumpyness differ?

is powertop estimated Wattage now back to reasonable levels?

Stabs in the dark.
