Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gtk2-engines-murrine

Expected behaviour: pausing torrents in transmission-gtk should not increase 
CPU usage
Observed behaviour: CPU usage increases instantly, more for each torrent paused

Latest test shows 1% extra CPU per paused torrent, which adds up fast. I
conjecture that the ghosted rendering of paused torrents is done in a
non-optimal fashion.

Tested with ambiance and then MurrinaChrome. Non-murrine-based themes do not
exhibit this behaviour (pausing torrents does not increase CPU use.)

Chipset: "ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)" (ChipID = 0x5955)

Platform: ubuntu maverick 10.10; installed beta on bare HD and upgraded

gtk2-engines-murrine: 0.98.1.1-0ubuntu1
transmission-gtk: 2.11+9713~maverick1 (nightly)
Same behaviour with 2.11-0ubuntu1~ppa1 and standard ubuntu transmission 
versioin 2.04-0ubuntu2 

CPU usage is normal with (gtk/gui-less) transmission-daemon.

It seems to me that excessive time is spent in libcairo. Other posters in

have an ATI Radeon 9600 and an nvida GeForce 9 series.

Thanks!
