Pedro, please answer comment #18. I would like to know if 18.10 or 19.04 has changed the situation for you.
--- Nicolas, this bug is not about showing seconds in the clock. Please comment in bug 1814125 instead for that issue and not here. Or log a new bug. --- Mark, this bug is about the CPU usage of the gnome-shell process only, when displaying a terminal and nothing else. If you experience any other problem then please open a new bug. --- Roland, there is insufficient information in this bug at the moment and some irrelevant comments. So no, nobody is working on it because we're not sure any bug exists. Also be careful to remember that this bug is about the CPU usage of the gnome-shell process only when displaying a terminal and nothing else. If you experience any other problem then please open a new bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773959 Title: High CPU usage by gnome-shell when only running gnome-terminal Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Even when doing nothing but displaying a terminal screen with top running gnome-shell uses 10% of a CPU. That seems excessive. I disabled all extensions to try and make the test fair. Enabling the system monitor extension increases the load to 13-14%. It seems that the gnome-shell screen painting is highly CPU consuming even if screen updates are infrequent (1 a second for all these cases).
