[Expired for yelp (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Lhazfarg thank you for working on this bug and making Ubuntu better. In Maverick, I opened yelp, moved it around very quickly and resized it very quickly. Both showed no increase in HDD activity (Swap % did not move, same as your attachment). However, it did show brief, temporary, and expected increases in CPU activity, as my graphics card is integrated instead of discrete. This is not a bug. Marking Invalid.
