This user chrome is a real battery saver! Thanks! ...and the throbber in the mouse pointer still tells me if thunderbird is busy. --- If I understand this right we now have 2 things that are rendered in the same thread and that use 100% of one CPU (indicated as 50% of the CPU power of a 2-CPU-System, 20% of the CPU power of a 5-cpu-system and 12,5% of the CPU power of an 8-cpu one) if they get the chance of doing so. ...or was the progress meter a Red Herring and it was only the throbber all along?
100% of one CPU normally doesn't indicate that something is amiss: The CPU could be asleep 99% of the time and be busy 1% of the remaining time. But the battery drain throbber+progress meter and generate seems to indicate that the CPU won't sleep while there is indeterminate progress... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109943 Title: Thunderbird: high CPU usage from progress bars Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird When sending a simple and short email with Thunderbird via SMTP the CPU is used intensively. This seems not to be necessary. If the sending failed and an corresponding error message dialog appears, the CPU is still being used. When pressing ok to close the error dialog the CPU is fine. This suggests it might be related specifically to the progress bar. Such behavior is especially annoying on a laptop where you can hear the CPU usage because of a starting fan.
