[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1337749] Re: High CPU usage after resizing a window
Furkan Alaca, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg 1337749 Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information. As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1337749] Re: High CPU usage after resizing a window
Cristopher, After upgrading to xserver-xorg-lts-utopic (Xorg 1.16), the CPU usage for desktop animations is down by about half - presumably due to the new GLAMOR optimizations. I suspect it may be reduced even further with the improvements in Xorg 1.17. With Catalyst, upgrading from Xorg 1.15 to 1.16 made no difference. But considering all the other problems I've had with Catalyst, I suspect that the poor 2D desktop performance is probably due to Catalyst itself, and not Xorg. So I would say that this bug report could be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337749 Title: High CPU usage after resizing a window Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Background: Symptoms are 50-120% CPU usage when scrolling (especially Firefox), dragging around a window, resizing windows, basically any 2D graphics rendering on the desktop.

A further comment: I noticed this bug report here which seems to report a similar issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1293384 I also figured out that even moving the mouse around causes high CPU usage. For example, launch Nautilus and move the mouse around inside it for 15-20 seconds or so. My CPU usage jumps to 25% for Xorg, 25% for nautilus, and 15% for compiz. Same thing happens with other programs like Firefox. So I searched around some more and found this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1250277 It seems that there's a chance all of these bug reports might be related.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1337749] Re: High CPU usage after resizing a window
Abhijit, you're right scrolling in Chrome only uses around 40% or so. I noticed it doesn't have smooth scrolling enabled. After disabling smooth scrolling in Firefox (general.smoothScroll in about:config), CPU usage dropped to about the same level as Chrome. Still extremely high for just scrolling down a page, though. I tested on the office computer today, which is a Core i7-920 w/ 6GB of RAM and an Nvidia GT 9400 with the proprietary driver installed. I can confirm that it suffers from the same problem (also running Ubuntu 14.04). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337749 Title: High CPU usage after resizing a window Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Background: Symptoms are 50-120% CPU usage when scrolling (especially Firefox), dragging around a window, resizing windows, basically any 2D graphics rendering on the desktop.
