skype-poll-fix

Hi, Thanks for this ! Just installed after computer overheated and now temperature all seems normal !

Not sure if it's helpful, but I'm using a script a bit like this in /usr/local/bin to launch it:

#!/bin/bash

SKYPE=/usr/bin/skype
SKYPE_POLL_FIX="/usr/local/lib/skype-poll-fix.so"

if [ -e ${SKYPE_POLL_FIX} ]; then
   LD_PRELOAD=${SKYPE_POLL_FIX} ${SKYPE}
else
    ${SKYPE}
fi

A bit of a cludge, but maybe this could check X for key events and temporarily lower put the poll frequency back to the default, this might make updates on typing a bit less jerky when typing.

It would be nice for it to be normal when skype is just starting up too (just so the spinner looks OK) - a crude way might be for the limiting not to kick for 10 seconds or so. ... though somehow detecting it trying to connect and kicking in after that would be idea.

What skype version do you use? I don't see any delay when typing and I believe I don't have any startup dialogs with spinner either.

4.3.0.37 The spinner is the one when logging in, I'm on a bit of a slow connection right now - maybe yours is too fast for it to come up ? Sign in spinner (the animation on this being jerky is a cosmetic thing really):https://imgur.com/p0PRIGJ

The typing seems ever so slightly laggy when typing fast, this is still way better than what skype was doing before. S++

Do you have many conferences opened or something? I don't have any input delay at all.

Nope, it's just if I open skype and type fast into a chat S++
