It was apparently started by gwibber (perhaps because I briefly opened the menu in the upper right corner of the Ubuntu Natty screen, which seems to be a gwibber thing; I do not use social networking).
One possible problem is that the Erlang runtime is started with the -heart option, so it burns time whether or not any demands are placed on it. Is there a reason that the "desktop couchdb" instance needs a heartbeat? The heart process wakes up every 5 seconds, forever. And it demands that the main process wake up as frequently, too. This means that the CPU can never stop running for more than 5 seconds, even when the machine is "completely idle". The main process seems to wake up every 10 minutes and write a few lines to the logfiles. There is no apparent reason for this activity. I have attached my logfile. ** Attachment added: "$HOME/.cache/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.log.1" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/erlang/+bug/458453/+attachment/2177239/+files/desktop-couchdb.log.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458453 Title: beam.smp uses lots of CPU on desktopcouch contacts lookup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/desktopcouch/+bug/458453/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
