[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage
I can confirm this in the recent release of Firefox 4. As Steve mentioned, it's easily reproducible simply by performing a Google Image search. This causes high CPU usage from the X server and on my computer at least, the display temporarily freezes. I'm running Arch Linux, with an Nvidia 8200M (notebook) video card. If I can help by providing more information, please just ask. This has basically made Firefox unusable for me (so I'm posting from Chromium). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38131 Title: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage
I started to notice this recently with this advent of Google's fancy new images search. As one scrolls down the page and more images are pulled in the Xorg CPU usage pegs to a core. After you get to the bottom scrolling back and forth seems fine. My hypothesis (well, more of a wild stab in the dark really since I know very little about X) is that firefox is asking for various bitmap stuff from the X-server and this is the cause of the badness.

[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage
A bit more background info for anyone who’s interested: After more digging there seems to be a number of bug call specifically relating to the issue with multiple users that I’m experiencing, some of the threads suggest it’s an issue with the first session locking the DRI/DRM and as such when a seconds user logs in they cannot access the DRM and hence they drop back to software rendering. One thread suggests that “drm multi-master” support was required to successfully allow multiple users to access the DRM. Anyway I decided to turn on Kernel Mode Setting and this seams to have allow both uses to access DRM according to glxinfo and X logs and GDM logs. Unfortunately this presents further issues, one is the fact that the Mode lines aren’t detected correctly and I’ve lost a number of resolutions settings that were available under X control (not a huge issue, but slightly annoying). The other is that Xorg now uses high CPU for a single user or multiple users, especially noticeable under Firefox (3.5). Playing videos however seems fine. I’ve added ‘Option RenderAccel true’ and ‘Option AccelMethod exa’ to my xorg.conf, same problem. -- Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage
I’ve noticed a similar problem, but under slightly different circumstances, everything runs fine (Firefox, videos etc.) and typically the Xorg process is always less that 10%. My problem occurs when a seconds user logs on, for example the screen saved comes on, my gf clicks “switch user”/“change user” or whatever its called, she logs in and the CPU usage of Xorg process shoots through the roof, especially when using Firefox. My setup is as below: OS: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice/San Diago Core) Memory: 2GB PC3200 Corsair Video Card: ATI X1800 (R520) Driver: Open Source radeon (NOT radeonhd) I’ve tinkered with some of the Xorg.conf settings, and if I set the AccelMethod to the older XAA mode instead of EXA, the problem doesn’t exhibit itself. Unfortunately I cannot play videos using XAA mode. I’m guessing it’s a problem with the open source radeon driver and EXA Accel method (in my case at least). -- Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think we should not think about these cases in terms of is users fault; their systems are ancient because this is the windows vista's approach to computer resources and as we all know, this approach fails. Finally, I think gnome-settings-daemon should stop doing (or doing much faster) 20% of the things that causes 80% of this noticeable performance drop. (say 20/80, say 10/90 or whatever).

I hate an issue in Debian Lenny that sounds a lot like this, just wanted to comment that AccelMethod XAA in my device section solved it for me. I was having VERY slow rendering times in Firefox. Switching tabs would take forever. My computer did not feel like it should. I'm on a Thinkpad X61s with lspci graphics card line: 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) My xorg.conf is largely autoconfigure (except for one Keyboard options line to replace caps lock with control). I ONLY added the AccelMethod XAA line to my device section to get this: Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device Option AccelMethod XAA EndSection And suddenly firefox is incredibly fast again. In fact, I didn't notice this before but ALL GTK apps were slow and they are all faster. I think this might technically be an xorg auto config problem?

With FF closed, and system monitor on 'Processes' (ALL), Xorg is at 2- 5% CPU usage. Changing system monitor display to 'Resources' makes the CPU usage peg - 85 - 100% usage. Then go back to 'Processes', and Xorg drops within a moment from pegged, to 2 - 5% usage.

I changed the update interval for 'Resources' in System Monitor. Immediately as I changed from 1 second interval to 2 second, CPU dropped from near 100% to 50%. I increased the 'Processes' update interval to 3 seconds, and the CPU is now just under 20%. I closed the settings window, then went to processes (from 'resources'), and it went back to 2 - 5 %. And again back to 'resources', and it went to 20% steady. Does this auto-monitor process continue when system monitor is NOT displayed? Does PCLinux do this operation?

[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage
With regards to my comments above in this bug, I have found my problem. Not sure whether/if this applies to anybody else. I discovered that it is not only Firefox which induces xorg into this crazy cpu state. Xorg would eventually get that way even if I never started firefox, it would just take longer to get there. It seems firefox pushes xorg into this state quicker. Once xorg starts hammering the cpu, then it would not recover no matter what I did. It would not respond to a ctrl-alt- backspace and even shutting the machine down would take ages. The odd thing for me is that I also noticed that this problem only happened at my work where I used my laptop often, it did not seem to happen when I used the laptop at home (I initially suspected some kind of weird DNS interaction). The problem turned out to be due to my optical mouse. I don't use a mousepad and the particular light pine looking table surface at work caused the optical mouse to hammer xorg. As soon as I pull the usb mouse out, xorg drops back to normal. This problem does not happen any other place I use the same mouse, including at another desk that looks exactly the same to my eye. So simply by using a mousepad now at the offending desk, my xorg cpu problem is solved. -- Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have an additional data point to add. My setup is: * Ubuntu 8.04 * AMD64 * 2.6.24-19-generic * Firefox 3.01 (Mozilla distribution, not Ubuntu) * Nvidia driver 169.12 * Flash 10 beta This problem manifested itself most noticeably on Facebook's new redesign (new.facebook.com): * During page load, both Xorg and Firefox would spike to ~50% CPU used each. * Once the page finished loading, Xorg would eat up ~86% of CPU time and Firefox would consume ~10%. I downgraded to Flash 9 and marked a dramatic improvement: * During page load, both still hit ~50% each. * After page load, Xorg dropped to ~15-25% CPU, Firefox stayed at ~10%. I understand that people have seen this problem without Flash being in the mix at all (i.e. with Java applets); nevertheless, it could help in finding the problem to see that Flash version can be a switch to toggle it on and off in a certain circumstance. It is likely that the way Flash 10 interacts with Firefox hits a very different (buggy) codepath than the Flash 9 interaction. This theory is further supported by the new additions to Flash 10: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.html#features -- nearly all of these changes are related to *graphics* and would likely interface with Xorg in a different manner. -- Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage
Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 Dell Inspiron 1525 Intel graphics (x3100) Both Firefox 3 Beta 5 and Firefox 2 are affected. I managed to get Firefox behaving by installing the 'Adblock Plus' extension and blocking most of the 'Flash' ads. http://www.ynetnews.com/ was terrible - just loading the page would cause massive cpu cycles and the stepping on the dual-core to jump to 2001 cpu's. It would then settle down to 800 cpu's and then up to 2001 cpu's again. This would happen constantly whilst viewing said web page. If I attempted to scroll the page a few times at a go, then Firefox would stop responding for a while. My understanding is that sites that have several 'Flash' ads or content cause the problem. It's not 'Flash' of itself, I have no problem viewing 'youtube' videos, it's just multiple 'Flash' content that causes the problem. -- Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage
Of course there's a difference, ryanmbruce. The thing is that both Xorg and firefox CPU usage dramatically rise when i go to some sites, and it stays this way even after the webpage finishes to load. For example, while being in this site and writing this post, both firefox and Xorg CPU usage is below 1%. When i go to http://www.keshet-tv.com/nehederet/ , firefox CPU usage rises to more than 85%, and Xorg usage rises to ~10% and it stays this way even after the page finishes to load. (actually it stays this way until i leave the webpage) . Keep in mind that each one of them was below 1%. I guess Xorg and firefox CPU usage are somehow related, especially when there are sites loaded with javascript/videos. Try going to the mentioned site yourself and check your CPU usage. I agree that maybe this bug should also be opened in bugzilla.mozilla, i'll check if theres's an open bug.

OK! So if what eats a lot of CPU is Xorg, your bug could still being on Xorg, I think. But instead, if what eats a lot of CPU is Firefox, the bug would be on Firefox and would be not related to Xorg.
