Opening top and gnome-system-monitor simultaneously (in Feisty), I can observe that top takes < 1% CPU, g-s-m takes 10-30% CPU. This isn't a misreporting issue unless it's at a lower level: as ld2ndR says, the two report similar results. The fact that top takes much less is also notable, in that it indicates to me this is probably fixable. The CPU panel applet seems to reflect the same thing, with nearly zero usage except for huge spikes very consistently every three seconds, which stop immediately when I close g-s-m.
I agree that this isn't a serious problem, but I'd like to pitch in confirmation that it appears to be a real one, not illusory. -- Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
