This bug was fixed in the package libindicator - 12.10.2+14.04.20140304-0ubuntu1
--------------- libindicator (12.10.2+14.04.20140304-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ] * IndicatorImageHelper: always try to use a GIcon or the filename as source of the GdkImage We don't need to fallback to pure pixbuf, unless an indicator provided a custom icon that is not in the current theme path. This helps a lot in reducing the Unity7 workload as this decreases the cases where we need to encode the pixbuf contents, send them via dbus to unity, encode them back, reload to a new pixbuf... Also thanks to this, the library clients can load the actual icon, scaled at the value they want.

Reducing the update interval does seem to have an affect. I realize that a.) top is not scientific b.) there could be something I'm missing here c.) saying "300%" (in the subject) is not scientific To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-multiload/+bug/784055/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
