It is really extreme and expensive hdd usage. I just noticed this. (Though I'm happy with unity altogether.)
Steps: Go to the left, Unity bar appears, pick an Icon and drag and drop it around in the bar. If I do this around 30 seconds and the drop the icon. hdd usage and workload does even continue! for around 5 seconds. It's even worse when dragging an icon from top to bottom and to top again and so on. Just switching on position e.g. to the next lower icon is ok. But hdd usage, depending on where you want your launcher icon, can get extreme. Having top opened in a Terminal compiz CPU usage goes up to 40%. I tried to analyze this with htop but I don't get it. I hope my oberservations might give some advice, to solve it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733425 Title: moving a launcher icon around generates lots of disk write activity -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
