Update: I spent the weekend agonizing over what process(es) could be using up all those CPU cycles. I finally caved and loaded XFCE4 (4.6) which seemed to solve the CPU issue- usage back down to the 0-18% range except for expected bursts during active processing.
So... today I had occasion to bring up my old GNOME session- and CPU usage is flat-lined *exactly* as it's supposed to be! Still no explanation for this increasingly strange behavior as no process or daemon that potentially could have been causing this was ever located. Gremlins, maybe. -- excessive CPU usage in 9.04- no apparent reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366292 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
