I just noticed on my development system, where nothing has been used for
about nine hours, that pulseaudio is consuming 100% of one core. t did have
xfce running with one konsole instance but nothing else that could use
audio. I don't recall running any browser there at all. I exited xfce and
pulseaudio terminated. I am running one other app, gkrellm, on the
development system over ssh and that is where I noticed the cpu usage.
I get that sometimes, particularly when changing to different
systems (/home is shared) on the machine where I (still) have the
youtube-alsa problem. When I notice, I kill pulse and wipe out its
~/.config files. Obviously, for testing ff/alsa I want it stopped
anyway :)
NB I start pulse from .xinitrc because I don't have a DE to start
it. On icewm, I eventually notice the red line at the bottom of the
cpu window on the 'panel'. In xfce I think I would notice it in the
cpu monitor.
Meanwhile, and possibly related to Tim's later reply about a later
kernel, on my haswell I've been seeing very slow or bursty network
i/o causing terms to hang for several seconds (e.g. downloading a
large package and saving it on nfs, or writing backups to nfs, or
even just untarring firefox from nfs), that seemed to start a month
or so back but was ok with _some_ kernels. Currently I've just
built LFS-svn and am now running 5.0.2 (it's ok, it's an intel -
I've seen a problem report for that version on amd) building Xorg.
Will have to wait and see if the network sluggishness persists.
Just testing firefox 66.0 with alsa and kernel 4.19.30 on a Dell
Latitude E7240 and experiencing absolutely no performance issues, as I
type this mail into thunderbird 60.6.0.
I gues my problem was somehow kernel/disk related.
Bye
Tim
