But, you have to remember here... the system-monitor is grabbing CPU cycles because you want it to show you all the pretty graphs and information! Big Grin  And because the display is busy updating, the system is busy being interrogated for information, x-server is just a bit busier! Wink 

And as Marcus pointed out, OpenGL ES (OpenGL for Embedded Systems) will NOT help here... as it is mean for rendering 2D and 3D graphics - not for boring old display stuff. Now, if you wanted to do some 3D animation stuff, you would need it! Big Grin

Basically, the cpu usage isn't anywhere near as high as you would think it is, and even it if were, you have four CPU cores, and one of them could be constantly pegged at 100% and you would barely notice the performance hit. Regardless of that, try opening a terminal, and running htop, and see what sort of cpu usage is shown then... be you it will be a lot lower!

Ok thanks for the explanation guys. Indeed it may not be as bad as I perceive. Interactivity is important on a desktop. Moving between displays, opening/closing windows and stop/starting software has to happen without fuss for your system. I am on the lookout for things that may hinder the Pine64 from doing this and making a nice desktop experience.
