[08-05-09 11:16]: Since upgrading to KDE 4.3, the plasma-desktop process is constantly running with around 35% CPU utilisation across all CPU cores. This also seems to be affecting the kwin process which is consuming around 25% CPU, also across all cores.
Before I hit the KDE tracker I was wondering if anyone else who has upgrade is experiencing similar high CPU usage from plasma?
yes, I have been seeing it for about three weeks or so. It was bad when I first installed Factory on 28 June and about a week later was ok and now is bad again. When I see it bad, I do: killall plasma-desktop;wait;plasma-desktop
and the usage goes back to 4-5% on 1 cpu.
I have *not* reported this.
Got fed up today and made a bug report, 529358. I tried your suggestion of *not* displaying the icons and my usage *immediately* shot up from ~12% to ~28% :^(. I normally configure the task bar hidden. Will reverse that and reinstate showing icons. Re-Showing icons *immediately* returned cpu usage to <12% -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
