Description
I was about to release a minor update - v1.2.4 - to Clipdinger. When test-installing the package, the previous v1.2.3 is uninstalled, and v1.2.4 gets installed.
After installing, the system becomes extremely sluggish. Windows get redrawn every few seconds and keyboard input etc. is practically impossible. I can press the power button and after a while the shutdown procedure runs in slo-mo.
I installed bets5 from scratch and installed Clipdinger v1.2.3 from HaikuDepot without this issue, so I assume this is only when replacing the input_server device with the one from the v1.2.4 package...
Clipdinger and its input_server device add-on has been updated with no issues often over the years, so I suppose this is a sideeffect of some more recent change in Haiku.
I attach Clipdinger v1.2.4. You may want to install v1.2.3 from HaikuDepot before updating.

After rebooting everything's working fine. But I don't want to provide the unsuspecting user with an update that will practically freeze their system and may lead to data loss in all open documents…
There's no telling about CPU usage, as everything but the mouse pointer is more or less at a stand-still.
Is there high CPU usage? Does the problem persist after a reboot?
