OK, thanks for confirming it is reproducible - please open a bug report for this.

Re: [Zim-wiki] zim 5.9 and CPU load on win7
Interesting finding. I can reproduce what you're describing, but for me, even when launching the external editor on a regular page, the CPU usage won't go down to normal until I close Zim. From your report I understand that when you launch the editor from the "Insert plugin" dialog the CPU usage hangs until you close Zim, but when launching it from a regular page, the CPU gets back no normal once you close the editor, right? Well... in my case, the only way to go back to the normal CPU usage is to close Zim, on both cases. Tested on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits SP1, up to date, using the regular, "Desktop" Zim 0.59 build from here: http://www.glump.net/software/zim-windows Svenn, are you using that Zim build also? Jaap, maybe you're testing on development/source code build, and that's why you can't reproduce the issue? I use Windows 7 regularly at my job, so if anyone needs further testing, just propose it, and I'll try to make the time. But without further instructions I really don't know how to debug this in more detail. -- Mariano On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 9:06 AM, Svenn Are Bjerkem wrote: > A short update on zim 0.59 on win7 and CPU load. > > I just happened to fire up the external editor in the 'insert symbol' plugin > I noted that the fan started running almost immediately. > Inspecting the CPU load showed that zim.exe was using 13% of the CPU > When I closed the external editor and the dialogs, the CPU load was still > 13% until i finally closed zim. > I then tried to use the external editor on a regular page. > The load increased again. > When closing the external editor the load decreased and the fan went back to > silent. > I then did the insert symbol, edit, thing again and load increased. > The load did not decrease when closing the external editor. > > I have been using zim every day since my previous report without noting that > the fan speed increased. > I did not use the external editor during this period until I clicked the > wrong button in insert symbol dialog today. > > Anybody cares to try to reproduce? > > -- > Svenn > > ___ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki > Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Quick check on my system does not show this - no CPU load whatsoever from the zim process. Also checked code for edit source, but nothing there that might loop. So not sure how to investigate.

Re: [Zim-wiki] zim 5.9 and CPU load on win7
A short update on zim 0.59 on win7 and CPU load. I just happened to fire up the external editor in the 'insert symbol' plugin I noted that the fan started running almost immediately. Inspecting the CPU load showed that zim.exe was using 13% of the CPU When I closed the external editor and the dialogs, the CPU load was still 13% until i finally closed zim. I then tried to use the external editor on a regular page. The load increased again. When closing the external editor the load decreased and the fan went back to silent. I then did the insert symbol, edit, thing again and load increased. The load did not decrease when closing the external editor. I have been using zim every day since my previous report without noting that the fan speed increased. I did not use the external editor during this period until I clicked the wrong button in insert symbol dialog today. Anybody cares to try to reproduce? -- Svenn ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

However I have heard of reports on other platforms where disabling the Attachment Browser plugin would fix such a problem, you might give that a shot. (Still don't know why that would fix it - might be due to gio polling the file system...)

[Zim-wiki] zim 5.9 and CPU load on win7
Hi, anybody noted a constant CPU load on win7 (or windows in general)? Task manager show that zim has a steady load of 13 and my laptop fan runs all the time. When running off the battery, zim will reduce expected battery life time from four hours to one and a half after running for a few minutes. Stopping zim, increases expected battery life time again after a while. No other serious applications are running while I do this experiment. I am doing no work in zim while observing this. I can't really remember if I had this high CPU load with previous versions of zim. If nobody else experience this, then there must be a problem with my install, otherwise I would like to learn how it is possible to reduce the CPU load. -- Svenn ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
