Sorry. I think I've confused the conversation a bit. SQLite is not part of MySQL. It is a separate RDBMS that Akonadi may have support for in the future, since it is already understood by the QtSQL library. But yes, the mysql package that akonadi-server Depends on does install and start a system daemon. On top of that, I think Akonadi doesn't actually use that server, but rather uses a per-user "embedded" server by default. (I could very well be mistaken about that.) >> Of course, there would still be the Akonadi server hanging around -- but >> it should only wake up "on demand" when applications need services. > >But does it take CPU time to figure out if it needs to wake up? Most likely not. There are numerous ways for a process to wait for an outside event and not get scheduled by the kernel until that event occurs. select() probably being the most common. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
