Did a clean install and here are the numbers with a Xorg session: - all default: less than 1% (comparable or even better to compiz) - turning on seconds on the top bar clock: around 3% - turning on extensions (particularly system monitor): 6-9%
So it seems gnome-shell is perfectly capable of using low CPU but it's very easy to make it use a lot more CPU by adding things that only do one update a second (both the clock and system monitor are like that). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773959 Title: High CPU usage by gnome-shell when only running gnome-terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1773959/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
