I'm on a dual screen with 4k and 2.7k (Surface pro 4) intel graphical chipset, i7 with 4 cores.
On a 20.04, using gnome-shell over Xorg, gnome-shell proc usage jumps from 0-3% to 40-60% usage when using indicator-multiload. gnome-shell over Wayland will have same issue, with an added visible mouse stuttering problem. interestingly, I've installed unity7 (with ubuntu-unity-desktop 0.2), and this doesn't occur on unity as dramatically: it goes from 2-4% without indicator-multiload to 6-8%. This makes it totally usable on unity. indicator-multiload 0.4-0ubuntu5 gnome-shell 3.36.4-1ubuntu1~20.04.2 compiz-core 1:0.9.14.1+20.04.20200211-0ubuntu1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784055 Title: CPU usage increases dramatically (and visible stuttering) when running indicator-multiload To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libindicator/+bug/784055/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
