Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor
Even after the fix from Bug #187383, gnome-system-monitor's Resources tab is *unusable* for CPU monitoring because it loads the CPU significantly with graph drawing alone. On an Athlon XP 2500+, graph drawing (fullscreen window) takes 90% of the CPU ( http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14431401/Fullscreen_systemmonitor_with_fix.png ). At a normal window size, it takes 30% ( http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14431521/Normal_sized_systemmonitor_with_fix.png ). On a Core 2 Duo, it takes 15% per-core (fullscreen, though) ( http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14403113/gsm-hardy-proposed.png ). These screenshots were taken from Bug #187383, also see the last comments there for more info. Functionality should take precedence over eye candy. There should be an option to disable smooth scrolling (or bsplines or both) or it should become less CPU-intensive. ** Affects: gnome-system-monitor (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - gnome-system-monitor Resources tab CPU usage is unacceptable - disable fancy graphs + gnome-system-monitor Resources tab CPU usage is unacceptable - disable fancy graphs? -- gnome-system-monitor Resources tab CPU usage is unacceptable - disable fancy graphs? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230022 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
