Bug#593572: xorg: Xorg consumes about 12% of CPU when gkrellm running and you switch from X to console
Package: xorg Version: 1:7.5+6 Severity: normal when I am running gkrellm in Xorg and then switch from Xorg to console, Xorg consumes about 12 % of CPU. This happens when gkrellm or firefox displaying web page with flash is running. I tried the same with application like mplayer or vlc and problem did not occur. Moreover when I run only mplayer playing some video and I switch to console, Xorg consumes nearly no CPU time. When I am in Xorg, gkrellm runs OK, the problem occurs only when I switch from Xorg to console. Similarly with flash. In case of gkrellm running, Xorg consumes about 2% of CPU when in Xorg and 12% when in console. In case of flash, Xorg consumes about 4% of CPU when switched to Xorg and 24% when switched to console. This CPU usage is approximately same all the time I am switched to console. straces of gkrellm seems to be same whether I am in Xorg or in console. So I tried to strace Xorg process. I don't know what to look for, but here are some statistics if you are interested. I ran strace on Xorg for 60 seconds with and without gkrellm running: without gkrellm: % time seconds usecs/call callserrors syscall -- --- --- - - 63.270.000310 0 3242 ioctl 18.570.91 0 394 setitimer 11.020.54 0 392 195 read 7.140.35 0 635 clock_gettime 0.000.00 061 munmap 0.000.00 0 197 select 0.000.00 0 136 writev -- --- --- - - 100.000.000490 5057 195 total with gkrellm running: % time seconds usecs/call callserrors syscall -- --- --- - - 99.718.556992 87 98452 ioctl 0.280.024115 23 1065 select 0.000.000294 0 2130 setitimer 0.000.000126 0 1726 836 read 0.000.000113 0 2504 clock_gettime 0.000.000104 261 munmap 0.000.60 0 195 writev 0.000.00 0 244 6 sigreturn -- --- --- - - 100.008.581804106377 842 total I counted ioctl request codes: ioctl request code gkrellm not running gkrellm running -- --- --- 0xc00c6466 181 1345 0xc010645b 60 60 0xc020645e 60 65 0x400c645f 144048858 0x40046460 144048062 0x40086409 61 61 You can find whole straces in http://coulomb.farm.particle.cz/~elias/bug/ if you are interested.
