I made a level editor for a puzzle game with Ogmo Editor and gave it to our designer/level designer. When he downloaded and started Ogmo, his CPU went to 100%. I looked at my CPU usage while Ogmo is running, and it goes from 20% to 30% (which is also high for an application alike Ogmo). He has a Windows 7 VM running on his Mac and I have a normal Windows PC, can this be a problem?

I found a thread on FlashFunk forum that confirms that Ogmo has CPU usage issues. Has anybody maybe solved this issue?

The solution seems to use Tiled Editor, but I never used it before. Is it difficult to change a level editor from Ogmo to Tiled? Can they export in the same format (XML with CSV elements for my puzzle game)?

EDIT

I ended up re-making the level editor with Tiled. It wasn't difficult and the only problem was that the exported XML is slightly different. In Ogmo the layers names are exported as XML element names, and in Tiled all layers are exported as elements with the layer name as the name attribute of the layer element.

My first question still remains: has anybody managed to solve the high CPU usage of the new version of Ogmo?
