[Touch-packages] [Bug 784055] Re: CPU usage increases dramatically (and visible stuttering) when running indicator-multiload
I was finally able to get the browser approach to work (advice: there is a little slider at the very top of the gnome-extensions-app GUI that you have to click to get the extensions to activate, or else you begin to lose your mind thinking that you have to install it manually from source because clicking on the slider next to Appindicator and KStatusNotifierItem wasn't doing anything when I clicked it). I find that the CPU usage has improved. When I am running indicator- multiload in the top right corner (i.e. in the gnome status bar) I find that gnome-terminal takes up 7% of one of my cpu cores (and this drops to less than a percent when I turn off indicator-multiload). Earlier on 2022-03-01 I wrote that gnome-terminal was taking up 30% when I was running indicator-multiload (and of course it dropped to zero when I killed indicator-multiload) So fixed version 53 is definitely an improvement (thanks!). I am not sure if the bug can be declared to be squashed but this is much better than it was. Again I am using Ubuntu 20.04 which uses Gnome 3.36.8 by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libindicator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784055 Title: CPU usage increases dramatically (and visible stuttering) when running indicator-multiload Status in libindicator: Fix Committed Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in indicator-multiload package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libindicator package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: using 0.1-0~5~natty1 on mostly up to date natty system, when running the indicator-multiload with with just cpu monitor and the default update interval of 500 milliseconds, I see (via top) that compiz usage when generally idle goes from either 0 or 1% of CPU to 3 or 4% of CPU.

Confirming that this is an issue even with the Dell customized ubuntu 20.04 version for the Dell XPS 13 laptop. I find about 30% cpu useage for gnome-shell when multiload-indicator is running. I also find that high framerate, high res youtube videos stutter when multiload-indicator is running but they run much smoother when multiload-indicator is closed.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 784055] Re: CPU usage increases dramatically (and visible stuttering) when running indicator-multiload
I'm on a dual screen with 4k and 2.7k (Surface pro 4) intel graphical chipset, i7 with 4 cores. On a 20.04, using gnome-shell over Xorg, gnome-shell proc usage jumps from 0-3% to 40-60% usage when using indicator-multiload. gnome-shell over Wayland will have same issue, with an added visible mouse stuttering problem. interestingly, I've installed unity7 (with ubuntu-unity-desktop 0.2), and this doesn't occur on unity as dramatically: it goes from 2-4% without indicator-multiload to 6-8%.

For what it worth that argbToRgba code (which I'd like to move to GdkPixbuf asap) isn't really used in indicator-multiload as it provides the actual icons to show, so the shell has "only" to paint them, and unfortunately this is something that looks somewhat slow. The argbToRgba function is unfortunately a needed thing, but only for indicators providing pixmaps, that are in such format and we don't have access to other C code doing this better right now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libindicator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784055 Title: CPU usage increases dramatically (and visible stuttering) when running indicator-multiload Status in libindicator: Fix Committed Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in indicator-multiload package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libindicator package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: using 0.1-0~5~natty1 on mostly up to date natty system, when running the indicator-multiload with with just cpu monitor and the default update interval of 500 milliseconds, I see (via top) that compiz usage when generally idle goes from either 0 or 1% of CPU to 3 or 4% of CPU.
