[Desktop-packages] [Bug 109943] Re: Thunderbird: high CPU usage from progress bars
hi guys. i also experienced the issue, but i think i found the reason. in my case, the cpu usage is dependent on the gtk theme. when switching the gtk theme to Clearlooks using: $ gtk-theme-switch2 /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks the cpu usage of X immediately jumps to 100%. but when switching to a different theme, e.g.: $ gtk-theme-switch2 /usr/share/themes/Adwaita with progress bar in status bar still active, the cpu usage immediately drops ~9% (still not 0% though) and thunderbird is way more responsive then. imho, this looks like the issue is either inside the theme code itself or gtk code the themes are using. hope this helps. -- 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 Mail and News: 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.

I suggest it's the progress bar code that is polling the CPU. If I send a message, and the send process fails for some reason, the progress bar continues to animate, while a new dialog box appears with a reason for error. Meanwhile, a CPU core is still pegged, even though there is no real work being done, just the progress bar animation. I've noticed the high CPU core usage with *any* progress bar activity, not just the above example. For example, on this latest build, the progress bar in the lower right is attempting to complete while I type this bug report, I presume while it indexes for the first time (first time with /this/ build) my inbox,(8000 messages). Meanwhile, my CPU graph shows one core in full usage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Here is one method to get a status bar 1. Open Thunderbird. 2. Clear your password 3. Send a message 4. Type in an incorrect password 5. Note the CPU usage when it gives you the SMTP error dialog. If it matters, I'm using IMAP, but again, I doubt that's the issue. I think it's the scroll bar code. Actual Results: When any progress bar is visible, a processor goes berserk. Expected Results: When any progress bar is visible, the CPU usage caused by the progress bar should be pert near zero. These bugs may be relevant, or may turn out to be duplicates.

As referenced by Bug 543422, Gloda may *also* be a CPU hog, but I think the this merits it's own bug report.
