By default, only when the mouse pointer is over the Panel's window updating takes place. However, this can be changed (see <A href="node6.html#chapter.menu.options">Section 2.2</A>). </P><P>Please note that the panel application itself contributes to thread and memory usage. For example, whenever the panel display updates the heap usage (see <A href="node3.html#chapter.usage.memory">Section 1.2</A>) the current heap size increases by a few KB. By default, this happens every second when the mouse pointer is over the panel application (see above). Moreover, in the default setting two new threads are created (see <A href="node2.html#chapter.usage.threads">Section 1.1</A>) whenever the mouse is moved anew over the panel, or when tabs are switched (the number of runnable threads remains 1, though). </P><P>The information the panel displays is described in <A href="node2.html#chapter.usage.threads">Section 1.1</A>, <A href="node3.html#chapter.usage.memory">Section 1.2</A>, <A href="node4.html#chapter.usage.problem">Section 1.3</A>, and <A href="node5.html#chapter.usage.opi">Section 1.4</A>. </P><P></P><HR><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node2.html#chapter.usage.threads">1.1 Information on Threads</A></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node3.html#chapter.usage.memory">1.2 Information on Memory</A></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node4.html#chapter.usage.problem">1.3 Information on Problem Solving</A></LI></UL><UL class="toc"><LI><A href="node5.html#chapter.usage.opi">1.4 Information on Programming Interface</A></LI></UL></DIV><TABLE align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="6" class="nav"><TR bgcolor="#DDDDDD"><TD><A href="toc.html#label1"><< Prev</A></TD><TD><A href="index.html">- Up -</A></TD><TD><A href="node6.html#chapter.menu">Next >></A></TD></TR></TABLE><HR><ADDRESS><A href="http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/~schulte/">Christian Schulte</A><BR><SPAN class="version">Version 1.4.0 (20090610)</SPAN></ADDRESS></BODY></HTML>
