Also worth noting that the 40% figure is with the default "ondemand" governor, which changes cpu clock "ondemand" and can potentially also change gpu clocks.
Using the "performance" governor (which fixes the cpu clock and potentially the gpu clock) the figure is closer to 10% cpu load on an N7. On a vegetahd, with the default cpu governor, the server cpu load is around 20%. With the performance governor, the cpu load is around 11%. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513450 Title: ActivityIndicators cause very high cpu usage for unity8/mir even when visible: false Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in canonical-pocket-desktop: New Status in Mir: In Progress Status in QtMir: New Status in Online Accounts setup for Ubuntu Touch: New Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit: New Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: running in window mode, open u-s-s, run top unity8 running at ~40% cpu on N7 cpu freq ~1GHz no monitor attached note: testing with silo 18 of mir containing lp:~albaguirre/mir/fix-1499039 (equivalent for 0.17) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1513450/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
