Going back through old bug reports and stumbled across this still open. Fired up xastir on my ham box to check it out.
Machine I'm running it on is significantly newer, but I am indeed still seeing about an 8% CPU load from the xastir 2.0.6 process on Ubuntu 15.10. I strace'd the running process and am still seeing a similar tight loop but with recvmsg() rather than read(). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu ham developers, which is subscribed to xastir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454740 Title: xastir consumes CPU time in X11 socket I/O Status in xastir: Unknown Status in xastir package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: xastir kjotte@zarya:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 kjotte@zarya:~$ apt-cache policy xastir xastir: Installed: 1.9.4-3 Candidate: 1.9.4-3 Version table: *** 1.9.4-3 0 500 http://archive.linux.duke.edu jaunty/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status After upgrading from Intrepid (xastir 1.9.2) to Jaunty I noticed my CPU was running at a constant ~10%. Running an strace revealed there was quite a bit time spent timing out of polls on the X11 socket fd. I tried setting the DISPLAY to use TCP instead of UNIX sockets, but the high poll activity still occurred.
