[Bug 1696305] Re: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running)
Sorry I'm totally newbie here and with ubuntu, but I regularly face the same problem with Ubuntu 17,10 in Virtualbox, when I run eclipse: Version: Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2) Build id: 20171218-0600 Either this happens at startup of Eclipse, or after a while with no obvious reason... Seems this is unrecoverable. _in the case it happened at startup of Eclipse, top reached up to 95% load for gmome-shell, and minimum was 70%. After 10 minutes, I gave up and restarted the machine. Not sure how to help more for now :/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696305 Title: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1696305/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Rasmus: I think other people have reported performance problems with the Activities overview already. Maybe you should join bug 1698792 to discuss that one. I think upstream Gnome bugzilla has reports of it too. Let's keep this one about gnome-shell's CPU usage while Firefox is running. It's important to be very specific with performance bugs and divide them up into narrower use cases so that fixes don't become subjective, and so multiple people can verify the performance of some feature is indeed fixed. I think this particular issue with Firefox spiking gnome-shell's CPU is fixed. We can just leave this Incomplete now and if there is no recurrence or further comments the bug will close itself. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Assignee: Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Assignee: Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696305 Title: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1696305/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1696305] Re: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running)
The above bug seems to be solved or at least mitigated a bit. With just having firefox up the CPU usage of gnome-shell is between 2-5%. Gnome shell is still much less performant than Unity though, by moving windows, open Activities or dragging the mouse over the dock its CPU usage quickly jumps to 20%. But that is probably things that should have their own bugs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696305 Title: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1696305/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1696305] Re: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running)
This bug is probably a bit out of date now. I don't see problems as bad any more. Rasmus: Please test again with the latest firefox (I think the newer versions ~57 or so are much more efficient). And if you can, also test Ubuntu 18.04: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ Everyone else: Please log your own new bugs using this command: ubuntu-bug gnome-shell and also mention which apps cause high CPU usage of gnome-shell. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Incomplete ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696305 Title: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1696305/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also experienced increases load on my laptop with an external monitor in addition to the built-in screen. The load is low initially, then increases such that the fan turns on.

It affects me too. I'm on Ubuntu 17.10.

[Bug 1696305] Re: High CPU usage in gnome-shell just redrawing the screen (Firefox is running)
It appears the high CPU of gnome-shell with totem on Wayland at least is
due to the totem app window redrawing at 60Hz seemingly only on Wayland
(bug 1698282). When this happens, the compositor will have to upload
(copy) the window texture from CPU to GPU 60 times per second, which is
CPU-intensive. This would happen with any software ("shm") surface that
is large and redrawing frequently. So I guess that might include Firefox
too.
