            Bug ID: 15346
           Summary: High CPU usage with calculator enabled
    Classification: Panel Plugins
           Product: Xfce4-calculator-plugin
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: goodies-dev at xfce.org
          Reporter: mi+xfce-2014 at aldan.algebra.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I'm running a FreeBSD guest inside a Windows host using Virtual Box. There are
4 CPUs and 8GB of RAM used by the guest (the host has 16GB).

Using the XFCE4 as the desktop, I have the following plugins enabled:

 . screenshot
 . clipboard
 . weather
 . clock

If I add the calculator plugin, top starts showing 20% CPU-utilization by the
new wrapper-process, and 100% by the Xorg. Calculator works -- and the ability
to refer to "pi" was a nice "Easter egg" -- but the rest of the GUI becomes
"sticky". For example, scrolling through or typing into a gvim window my
fingers manage to outpace the computer's reaction...

If either kill the wrapper (and the calculator with it) or "humanely" remove
the calculator from the panel, things go back to normal. Removing/readding
other plugins does not have this effect...
