Using 13.04 on a ION with 4G ram. The network is 1Ghz. If I remote login to this machine using VNC (Remmina Desktop client) vino-server utilizes 30-40% when I have one simple terminal up with "top" running. If I then simply move this terminal window the cpu goes to 99%+ for about 10 seconds and returns to 30-40%. Encryption and bit-depth does not seem to matter.
If I now use VNC from my ION to my 4-cpu i5-3570K @ 3.4Ghz Ubuntu 13.04 vino-server consumes 20-30% (of one of the cpus) when viewing a terminal running "top". If I perform some other activity, such as type this note in Firefox, vnc-server jumps to 40%. Typing is sluggish. Moving a window jumps it to 60% for several seconds. Again, bit-depth, encryption and quality make little difference. I am happy to provide any other information that you might ask for. I will probably be looking for another VNC solution since this baby is painful to use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vino in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31037 Title: Vino-server takes 90% of cpu when only listening for incoming connections Status in Avahi: New Status in GNOME Remote Desktop: Fix Released Status in “vino” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “vino” source package in Lucid: Confirmed Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Bug description: The load of Vino-server becomes about 90 % of the cpu. It goes as far as 99% of total cpu usage. A simple "killall vino-server" reduces cpu load to 5-10 %. I have no idea why vino-server takes that much of cpu. I didn't make any connection to it. It just happens after a while.
