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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
