Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ntlmaps
Currently ntlmaps runs with niceness of 0. For any reason the process consumes a lot of CPU when http connection is active over the proxy. So much CPU that GUI responsiveness degrades dramatically if 3 or more pages are being loaded simultaneously in Firefox. The solution is to renice ntlmaps process. http connection performance doesn't degrade and this fixes computer responsiveness. I usually add "-N 19" to the /etc/init.d/ntlmaps startup script so startup section looks as following: start) echo -n "Starting $DESC: " start-stop-daemon --start -N 19 --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \ --background --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS echo "$NAME." ;; ** Affects: ntlmaps (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- ntlmaps process should be started with hihger niceness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116178 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
