If I activate the MINI Mode Extension, and put banshee to mini mode, it goes back to an (more or less) acceptable 18-20 % cpu load, In full screen mode, it takes up at least 80% of my cpu, even doing nothing.
with the 18-20 % I am doing internet radio listening, so, well, as I said, it's somewhat acceptible, I am suspicious though if it may be related to the display of the buffering, it seams this is updated really quite often, I had such a bug in an application of mine too, long ago, I changed to only do a screen update when the % number changes instead of every time the state changed, made a tremendious difference! So this might be something to checkout, just throwing it out there, without looking at the sources ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861799 Title: banshee using 100% cpu Status in Banshee Music Player: New Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: $LANGUAGE=C banshee --debug [...] [1 Warn 17:35:19.114] Could no read GConf key plugins.lastfm.expanded - GLib.GException: Configuration server couldn't be contacted: D-BUS error: Method "LookupExtended" with signature "ssb" on interface "org.gnome.GConf.Database" doesn't exist (in `gconf-sharp') at GConf.Client.Get (System.String key) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Banshee.GnomeBackend.GConfConfigurationClient.TryGet[Boolean] (System.String namespace, System.String key, System.Boolean& result) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 [1 Debug 17:35:19.500] TrackInfoDisplay RenderAnimation: 16,00 FPS Exception in Gtk# callback delegate Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to handle the exception.
