Public bug reported: When system monitor is opened in a small window, my cpu usage fluctuates approx 05~17% with no other apps open. If I maximize the system monitor, it shoots up to almost 50% and stays there. Reduce the monitor to a small window and usage drops again. I don't see any processes eating the cpu during this time, either. Can this be confirmed by anyone else?
Athlon 2000+ DFI AK75EC Motherboard 512 meg SDRAM Ti4600 gfx Ubuntu Hardy fully updated as of about 8:00am 3-30-08 I was told this was due to the system monitor using vector drawing for the graphs and this is kicking the cpu usage up. If so, doesn't this kinda defeat the whole purpose of the system monitor then? If its not giving an accurate representation of the current state of the PC, then what good is it? Also, the text smearing that occurs when scrolling down the process list doesn't help things, either. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Hardy] Gnome System Monitor - Inaccurate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
