>Description:
The hot-babe load meter is pleasantly amusing and (from a distance) is
easier to interpret than xload because of its color shifts. However, it
reacts too quickly to light and moderate system loads, from 0.0 to 2.0.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install and run hot-babe. Notice how even light system activity causes
the girl to "flash" you and how running a modestly complicated process
(for example, ripping a CD with 'abcde') causes her to be completely
naked most of the time which gets boring fast.
>Fix:
The included patch makes the getloadavg() adjustment less sensitive to
low and moderate system loads, spanning the range 0.5 to 4.5 instead.
I have found that this change makes hot-babe truly useful and more than
just an amusing diversion.
