[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
FWIW, on my (6-year-old) desktop under 14.04 LTS running on an Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz × 2 System Monitor still takes around 20-30% CPU time (I checked both g-s-m and top). I have two bits of useful debugging info: First, if I change the update interval to 3s CPU usage in g-s-m stays around 8%. At around 6s it falls to 1%. Leaving the update interval at its fastest (1s), if the Processes tab is selected but I remove all columns from view (no processes are actually shown), the cpu usage of 20-30% is still there. But if I move to the Resources tab CPU usage goes down significantly, to 5% consistently, yielding instead to 5-20% CPU utilization in Xorg depending on how big the window is. Since the only thing left showing the Processes tab is the average load for 1,5,15 min I'm wondering if it somehow has to do with that, or if g-s-m is doing extra work on this tab that it isn't doing on others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 Title: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/93847/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
@ Michal Golebiowski G-s-m works fine on all my machines, even on my ThinkPad Edge (screen shot). Only once in a while I had the problem with the cpu Usage. The attached screenshot shows my ThinkPad (intel U7300) with G-s-m running in the task bar and X-Window, monitoring cpu, ram, network and cpu speeds. Arround 8% for g-s-m with refresh @ 500 ms is the normal condition on my system. The problems occured only sometimes (two times a month). On my other machines (debian AMD64 Phenom II, fedora AMD Turion x2) I never had any Problems with g-s-m in years. So it seems that most machines don't have problems at all, some have problems all the time and some (my ThinkPad) have troubles only once in a while. I have also tried to use g-s-m and top at the same time. Normally nothing goes wrong but if g-s-m causes trouble and I use top at the same time, top starts using 99% of the second core (g-s-m 99% of the first) and the system is nearly frozen.

@Thomas Weiler This 8% is not everything, if I switch to the Resources tab I see CPU usage of about 15-20% on each core which is a lot considering I'm not running anything computionally complex. On my older laptop it was a lot more than this 15-20%, it reached 50-70% IIRC. Besides, it's not only a g-s-m process, Xorg also counts as it suffers from excessive calls from g-s-m. Each a few seconds/a minute there is also a peak: g-s-m to about 25%, Xorg to about 50%.

@ Michal Golebiowski Hi, sorry i am a little bit confused now. If you scroll to the top of this page you can read the original bug description from Jonathan M. in 2007. He wrote: Gnome System monitor sometimes claims to be using all of the spare capacity of my CPU, I cannot pinpoint when it happens, but it does happen. I pressed the report bug button while it was using 86% of my CPU according to itself, but now a few minutes later, it has settled on 11%. This is exactly the same problem which I have on my ThinkPad nearly four years later. G-s-m might not be very efficient (using 15-20%) but this is not a bug just permanent inefficiency. I posted my problem here because I discovered that top also shows this behaviour sometimes and maybe this is a hint for somebody who is working on this problem or g-s-m in general. I'm new here, so do not hesitate to tell me if I do not understand why I should now create a new bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 Title: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
Hi, Important things first: I am not an expert and I am not a native speaker ;-) But maybe I have hint about what could be going on here. A short story about my problems with gnome-system-monitor: I have used g-s-m on various machines and with diffrent Systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora). I never had the problem with too high cpu usage until I bought a ThinkPad Edge last summer. I had on this machine Debian and Fedora (13 and 14). Everything worked fine exept the problem with g-s-m which this Thread is about. So after 3 diffrent Systems I gave up and decided too use g-s-m no more. Instead of g-s-m I simply used top in the terminal. Of course I used top only if I needed it and then only for a short time. G-s-m was ALWAYS running (task bar) !!! After one week of happiness the following happened: I used top and it said 99,6% cpu usage for TOP! I didnt touch the system (exept of the screenshot) for a few minutes. After one minute the cpu van started. I waited over one hour - no change in cpu usage, until I restarted the system . After restart top worked again without any problems. - Screenshots The following things are important: - top is a TERMINAL application so whatever causes the cpu usage has nothing to do with drawing lines in an X-Window app. I don't know if g-s-m is based or has something to do with top. - If g-s-m has nothing to do with top this is NOT only a bug in g-s-m - This could be a general problem with determining the cpu-usage under pretty rare circumstances (dosen't happen very often) -- Kernel? I hope something of this makes sense, if somebody wants to know more about my system (processor, ...) just post here.

[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
Disclaimer: I know nothing of GTK or Cairo. First up, the source: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-system-monitor/tree/src/load-graph.cpp This comment: // FIXME: // on configure, g-frames_per_unit = g-draw_width/(LoadGraph::NUM_POINTS); // knock FRAMES down to 5 until cairo gets faster This value is set to 10, not 5. I haven't profiled it, but that comment would suggest cairo_curve_to is the problem. The canvas appears to be stateless, redrawing everything every frame. The obvious solution is to implement a cache for the graph rather than blaming Cairo for the speed. Cairo must have ways to manipulate graphics buffers. Keep two around as part of the load graph state, one for the background and one for the graph. Draw in a cyclic manor each frame like so: 1) Work out a width based on the last drawn position and the current one. Blank it out from left to right, wrap around if necessary. 2) Draw the line segments from the last drawn position to the current cursor position 3) Stamp down the graph background onto the canvas 4) Draw the line segments in two halves, giving the illusion of a scrolling buffer This will remove 99.9% of the smooth line drawing calls, it will cost a small memory cache, but that's the reason we have RAM anyway. Workarounds: a) Do as the comment says, set frames_per_unit to 10 instead of 5, this will draw less line segments. This will call g_timeout_add with a larger interval. b) Set the default /apps/procman/graph_update_interval to something higher, say 2000 or 5000. This would just suck. c) Draw jagged lines instead of smooth ones, this may be faster. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 Title: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
I was fighting with those excessive CPU usage over the last days, too. It occurred after upgrading to Lucid, and as most of the subscribers, I suspected g-m-s. However, I started, by incidence, a session of another user, which was almost virgin and did not show this high CPU usage. So I tried to figure out, what could be the difference and, by luck, I stopped remote control (vinagre) in my session which brought me back to almost 0% CPU usage. I then tried the different options for vinagre and found that it was the notification icon (put to only show up when somebody is connected), which caused the the high CPU usage. All works fine with either no or permanent notification. However, I could not reproduce the high CPU usage afterwards. Maybe a matter of the sequence, so whether g-s-m is stqrted after or before vinagre.

My last entry (#79) I suggested fix turned out to be short lived. Changing the frequency also gave false hope of a fix. I spend 30 hours since trying to better understand this issue. I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 and Mint 9 on old then new HDs thinking it was drive related. I installed older and current versions of each OS all w/o real success. I use the Terminal command ps ux to watch the CPU% slowly climbed to 100% over a short period of time. When I final discovered there is a memory leak in glx (?) relating it back to the Nvidia drivers (BUG/565981 Report); Apparently the ATI driver has been fixed now and hopefully the Nvidia soon. Bottom line, I did one last fresh install of Mint 9 and after learning that older Nvidia drivers were going to work w/my Nvidia video card, I followed the guide to manually install Nvidia's nouveau driver (per http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install- nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html); know it removes all the Nvidia proprietary drives. Once your installation is complete, be sure and shut off your computer and let it sit for a while before rebooting (rebooting directly will not work).

So when you start the System Monitor it hides the panel and the window ignores all attempts to resize or move it (I tried using all the keyboard shortcuts - which are working on other windows but the System Monitor) - only thing which works is close or minimize.

[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
On my system (Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from 9.04 clean install) with Intel C2D T5600 (1.83 GHz) I get CPU usage 6-8% for System Monitor alone when I just left it running. It is quite high, especially compared to Win as many people above mentioned (even higher than my Firefox full of addons with couple of tabs opened), but the real problem is when I switch to Resources card/tab (with those nice usage graphs:). Than the CPU usage goes to 100% for one core and I guess the only think which keeps my machine from freezing totally is that System Monitor is not able to use multicore CPUs so I can switch back to Procesess tab or close the System Monitor. It is not so serious bug I agree, but it's not looking good especially with the new Ubuntu is lightware slogan. It is also quite annoying when you just want to check how many MB you downloaded/uploaded on Resources card/tab. I think the nice smooth graphs may be the cause, so it should be optimised or replaced by some less resource consuming graphs even if those would not look so nice (just my opinion). -- Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
I discovered some more: - It is definitely caused by graphs (as Spudz wrote on 2008-11-12). - Resource consumption doesn't depend only on graph update interval, but also on graph size if I unmaximize the System monitor window (to size 550x412 px - lowest possible) graphs are smoothly running (without lags and with 90-100% CPU usage on one core) even if I let it run for 60+ sec=whole interval is used for graph. In maximized window (size 1647x1000 px) graphs start to lag after 20 or 22 sec with 100% CPU usage on one core. Update interval was 1 sec in both cases. - If I use update interval of 5 or 10 sec overall CPU usage gets lower but on System Monitor panel applet I can see that there are still spikes utilising 40-50% of one CPU core=It still uses too much resources, especially considered that between the spikes CPU usage is 20-30%. Also graphs updated in 10 sec intervals are not so useful, but it seem to me that it is somehow interpolating the values for graphs between 10sec updates or the update interval is is incorrect (as snibgo wrote on 2010-02-20) - 12 or 13 sec caused graph to move approx. each 1 sec.

[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
On my side, the update interval is correct, the graph respects the scale on the lowest bar. But about CPU usage, I've got the same behaviour. Before launching Gnome-System-Monitor, X uses less than 1% of CPU. When I run gnome-system-monitor, X and g-s-m are using each 8 to 12% of CPU. So the CPU overhead is between 15 and 23%. Switch the update interval to 15'' decreases the CPU usage to 1 - 2% for the each, but the graph is dramaticaly slowed down. When I go to the Process tab, the CPU usage grows fast to above 50% after reverting back to 10% of CPU. It is the same when I launch gnome-system-monitor. This is very annoying if you want to kill a process that already consumes to much CPU ! I also use the system monitor applet, and is showing the same graphs (and even more) and it is using less than 1% of CPU. All CPU usage are for the all CPU capacity of my i5-750. That means 100% of CPU usage shows that all 4 cores are used at 100%. -- Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My experience: 1. Top is reporting that root running Xorg takes 24% of CPU. 2. Start System Monitor on processes, Top reports Xorg 30%, gnome-system-mo 7%. 3. I press System Monitor Resources tab, and top shows Xorg 53%, gnome- system-mo 9%. So the System Monitor Resources tab takes (53 + 9 - 24) = 38% of CPU resources. Minimising System Monitor makes no difference to top. 4. Edit, Preferences, Resources, Update interval in seconds is set to 1, but it is clearly updating much more quickly than that. Changing to 15 seconds slows the update to about 1 second, and top reports Xorg 24%, gnome-system-mo 1%. Change Update interval to 30, and it updates every 2 seconds, with no great effect on top's reports. My conclusion: the System Monitor Resourses update interval is broken, and should generally be set to 15. Note: all top numbers given here are after the system has settled down.

First thanks to all Gnome developpers! I really love GNOME :) I have the same bug on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid : g-s-m uses between 18% to 100% of my CPU. I have a Mobile AMD Sempron 3200+. Then I changed the sample frequency to its minimum both on Processus and Ressources tabs. I saw the following: - when I just look at the Ressources tab, it is generally stable at 60% +or- 10% - when I just look at the Processus tab, g-s-m uses between 20% to 60% on the Processus tab. But: - when I stay ~15seconds on the Processus tab and then see the total CPU use, there are 2 cases: (1) Peaks from ~10% to 60% every second, which is normal I think because it corresponds to the sample frequency of the Processus tab. (2) sometimes the CPU use is blocked to 100% (which does not correspond to the Processus tab value that was 20%~60% as I said before), and remains blocked at 100% during 0~10sec from the moment I switched to the Ressources tab.

[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
System Monitor chews up to 20% of my CPU. It's really pretty I know,
but ...this renders it really useless.
This is either caused by (1) the math-algorithm to smooth the graphs, or
(2) the redrawing.
If (1), need to check if the entire curve is re-approximated each
redraw. if it is, that's VERY BAD. Only the new point should be
adjusted, thus: NewPoint = 0.2 * new_val + 0.8 * LastPoint, or
something. That's called an IIR filter if anyone's interested.
If (2), I suggest
a) changing the readout to hospital cardiograph style. (reading moves from
left to right, and wraps)
b) lower refresh rate to 5fps, draw a bunch of samples each time
c) if you _really_ want the whole thing to move, blank and repaint each point
rather than blanking the area and redrawing
This would be fastest, and smooths:
const WIDTH 500
int val[WIDTH];
int x = -1;
float y = 0;
void plot_new_point(int newVal)
{
x++;
if (x graphWidth)
x = 0;
float y_old = y;
y = 0.8 * y_old + 0.2 * newVal;
SetPixel( x, val [x], BACKGROUND_COLOR );
val[x] = y;
SetPixel( x, val [x], LINE_COLOR );
}
Sorry can't implement. 1) I'm a noob. 2) RSI. 3) ToDo list spans till
xmas.

Linking to correct upstream bug (which I just reported because I couldn't find an existing one): http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524830. In sum: g-s-m uses too much CPU.

I have confirmed that Top reads GSM as using approximately the same CPU% as GMS itself shows. excessive usage does not appear to be a display aberration. top, at 3sec refresh uses at most 0.7% to do basically the same job.

[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor
Opening top and gnome-system-monitor simultaneously (in Feisty), I can observe that top takes 1% CPU, g-s-m takes 10-30% CPU. This isn't a misreporting issue unless it's at a lower level: as ld2ndR says, the two report similar results. The fact that top takes much less is also notable, in that it indicates to me this is probably fixable. The CPU panel applet seems to reflect the same thing, with nearly zero usage except for huge spikes very consistently every three seconds, which stop immediately when I close g-s-m.
