As of v24.5, running on Ubuntu 13.10 (64bit) with Openbox, I no longer see gettimeofday calls in the strace output. TB is still polling like mad, but is at least efficiency polling. From an strace output like above, I now see:
(11.6%) futex (27.4%) poll ( 4.0%) read (45.3%) recvfrom (11.7%) writev And no gettimeofday. So, from the reporter, who has unfortunately changed the desktop he uses (see comments 16, 17, and 18), I no longer see this. Meanwhile, we still need input from someone running Gnome and Unity, I think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109943 Title: Thunderbird: high CPU usage from progress bars To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/109943/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
