I can confirm Gwibber still unusably slow with high CPU use on 11.10 with Gwibber 3.2.1.
(OT OTT rant: In fact gwibber-service has made gwibber unusably slow ever since it was added to Ubuntu. Really, if it still this bad after over two years in the distribution is there any point persisting with trying to fix it? It's flaw seem pretty fundamentally 'baked into' the design. It's only virtue is telepathy integration, is there another Twitter client to which we can add that? Gwibber doesn't even seem well maintained. It doesn't have any man pages or documentation (try clicking 'Get Help' on the 'Help' menu). It can't tell you its own command line options. It does have regular releases, but mostly rearranging deck chairs, nothing that addresses the fundamental performance problems and resulting unresponsive UI. The project site hasn't has a news/blog entry since 2010 (http://gwibber.com/blog/). The last launchpad annoucement was 2009 (https://launchpad.net/gwibber/+announcements). Really few of properties of a healthy open-source project.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gwibber in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554005 Title: Using some glib functions within multiprocessing from a threaded app sometimes causes 100% CPU utilization Status in “desktopcouch” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libgnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “desktopcouch” source package in Lucid: Invalid Status in “gwibber” source package in Lucid: Fix Released Status in “libgnome-keyring” source package in Lucid: Won't Fix Bug description: 1. set up Gwibber accounts with passwords stored in the keyring 2. restart your computer 3. wait for gwibber to autostart Eventually gwibber-service will hit 100% CPU utilization. desktopcouch-service also sometimes suffers from this.
