I can also confirm this bug. 100% CPU usage on the 'Resources' tab. I have a theory about it. It appears that the update interval is not obeyed correctly. When I have it set at 1, I get 100% CPU usage, and it is updating *much faster* than 1 time per second. When I set it to 3 I get 50% CPU usage and it updated about once per second. When set to 10, it updates around every 2 seconds at 25% CPU usage.
That is, it seems to try to update much faster than the user requests, which leads to extreme CPU usage. -- System monitor causes Xorg to consume 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
