I'm on a dual screen with 4k and 2.7k (Surface pro 4) intel graphical chipset, i7 with 4 cores.
On a 20.04, using gnome-shell over Xorg, gnome-shell proc usage jumps from 0-3% to 40-60% usage when using indicator-multiload. gnome-shell over Wayland will have same issue, with an added visible mouse stuttering problem. interestingly, I've installed unity7 (with ubuntu-unity-desktop 0.2), and this doesn't occur on unity as dramatically: it goes from 2-4% without indicator-multiload to 6-8%. This makes it totally usable on unity. indicator-multiload 0.4-0ubuntu5 gnome-shell 3.36.4-1ubuntu1~20.04.2 compiz-core 1:0.9.14.1+20.04.20200211-0ubuntu1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to libindicator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784055 Title: CPU usage increases dramatically (and visible stuttering) when running indicator-multiload Status in libindicator: Fix Committed Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in indicator-multiload package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libindicator package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: using 0.1-0~5~natty1 on mostly up to date natty system, when running the indicator-multiload with with just cpu monitor and the default update interval of 500 milliseconds, I see (via top) that compiz usage when generally idle goes from either 0 or 1% of CPU to 3 or 4% of CPU. Reducing the update interval does seem to have an affect. I realize that a.) top is not scientific b.) there could be something I'm missing here c.) saying "300%" (in the subject) is not scientific To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libindicator/+bug/784055/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
