I think this is clearly a gnome-system-monitor problem: gnome-system-
monitor shows short sleeps wrong, no matter whether it's playonlinux or
something else that calls sleep. /bin/ps doesn't have this problem.
On both gnome-system-monitor 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 12.04) and gnome-
system-monitor3.8.2.1-2ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 14.04), I can reproduce the
problem like this:
- Open gnome-system-monitor
- Sort by ID (helps keep the no-name processes in a stable location in the list)
- Run in a terminal: $ while true; do sleep 0.1; done
- Look at gnome-system-monitor and click Refresh repeatedly
Look for the root process with no name. Its pid should increase by 10
per second.
If I increase the delay to 0.2, and repeatedly click Refresh, it will
sometimes be the root no-name process and sometimes "sleep" owned by me.
With delay 1 its name is always "sleep", but the owner is sometimes root
and sometimes myself. Maybe some different values will trigger the
effects for you.
