I find that htop shows more information and i was just taking some
related screenshots.

First for comparison one for the load on a running mm8, without delays.

Next one of the start of mm9

for which the load is

By the way, running mm9 shows no problems so far besides the one with
switching from the gameplay to a game menu.

Now to the switching. This time with esc to the main menu. Taken with
import from a xterm on workspace 6, visiting workspace 2 with the
running htop and then workspace 1 withe the running mm9.

Hm, i should have taken a .png for this instead of a .jpg.

No sign of mm9 is shown. Instead part of workspace 2 appears in the
window of mm9.

The load during the switching:

And finally the result of the switching:

Using this menu is quick. No delays. Until i click on 'Spiele Laden'
which means 'Load Game'.

This takes the aforementioned 50 seconds. But, after starting mm9, the
first 'Load Games' was quick. Hm.
