--- Comment #3 from Raman Gupta <rocketra...@gmail.com> --- I have the same behavior on Fedora 24 with KDE Plasma 5.8.6, Frameworks 5.31.0, QT 5.6.2, and VMWare 12.5. There are other reports of this as well: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/plasmashell-kde-high-load-over-my-cpu/8645/5 One commenter at https://superuser.com/questions/1118866/high-load-over-my-cpu-and-high-temperature-when-running-plasmashell had an interesting theory, but I have not yet tested it: > FWIW, we ran into this at work and it turns out it's the vmware tray icon.

There is an option to say that you don't ever want the icon, but > that doesn't appear to be honored and VMWare fires it up anyways. CPU usage increases to about 60% on plasmashell, with a significant percentage on the Xorg process and on the VMware process, even with an idle VM. Shutting down VMWare has no affect, but restarting plasma after shutting down VMWare fixes the issue. The display becomes sluggish until plasmashell is restarted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
