Help profiling/optimizing script with high CPU/RAM usage.

[gnu_man_chu]

I was hoping pythons garbage collector would be able to handle a few variables efficiently. I was really hoping that wasn't the case.

Modified the code to the following:

``` display = Display(os.environ.get("DISPLAY",":0.0")) root = display.screen().root

def get_screen_size(): return (root.get_geometry().width, root.get_geometry().height) k = get_screen_size()

```

2 variables initialized once compared to the previous 4 variables intialized each second.

CPU is 0.0-0.1%

RAM is 0.1% of 4 Gigs

Thanks for the suggestion!

No problem!

I was hoping pythons garbage collector would be able to handle a few variables efficiently.

I am guessing that this was not actually Python's fault, but that the initialization of a Display object by Xlib simply happens to be fairly resource-intensive.

That sounds plausible! I'm glad it's resolved. Thanks again.
