This program rocks. It's much more intuitive and user-friendly than Samurize, which I was using before. I'm loving the iTunes plugins.

Is this resource heavy?

Not that I can tell. It starts up a process for each widget so it tends to create a lot of processes depending on how many widgets you run. That said I have 4 or 5 running most of the time and haven't noticed any decrease in CS:S performance at all. CPU utilization when it's just Konfabulator and widgets running is pretty much inconsequential.

It's a cool program.

I used konfabulator until it started nagging me to buy it. Widgets are nice, but not worth paying for IMO.

Azureus, usually it will produce a hard lock within the first 30 seconds, however if it dosent, and i fire up WolfenStein: Enemy Territory happens 99% of the time.

if i close out konf before i start Azuerus its fine though.

What is Azureus? I did't know WolfeStein even uses java. Is there a website that has some java content you are having problems with?

Its a java based bittorrent client. Basicly if it didnt crash with both running, starting a game would push it over the edge and have hard locks randomly. ever since i uninstalled everything is back to normal with no lock ups.

I'm running confabulator and azureus all day now and have had no stability problems at all.
