I noticed the latest Windows snapshot 2017.11.12 (git 7cb1e93) is using 15% CPU when doing nothing and not even visible. Not great on a battery powered laptop. What is it doing?

Not great on a battery powered laptop. What is it doing? My first guess is that this is still related to Automatic Reload: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1237 Easy to verify by turning off automatic reload. You already improved this quite a bit by caching the file update checks. It should be possible to optimize further by using filesystem-level watchers, which may be a bit OS-dependent. -Marius

Oh, yes, of course. I am surprised how high it is though. stat must be very expensive.
