new test with Karmic: - open System Monitor, Resource tab, set Update Interval to 0.25s during 10 seconds, then 0.5s, then 0.75s, then 1s. You will see on the attached screenshot that the longer the UpdateInterval, the more the CPU used by the graph. Note that with 0.25s it uses 40%CPU, then 0.5s uses 20%, then 0.75s uses 15%, then 1s uses 10%. - I confirm what is said above: if System Monitor (Resource tab) is max size, it uses 20%CPU for me; if I reduce the S.M window, it only uses 15%. See "max window versus small window" screenshot. - When I switch between Resources tab and Processes tab, I sometimes observe a strange 100% CPU peak during the moment I am in the Processes tab: see "Processes tab VS Resources tab" screenshot. - I could not reproduce the long 100% CPU use bug (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19830627/CaptureYannUbuntu.png) that I had with Jaunty.
