Not sure what unity8 itself can do to be better here, as it's almost exactly the same codebase running on both. Have added mir and unity-mir as that's where the investigation needs to go to.
Another component that was replaced by unity-mir (and, in effect, unity8) is ubuntuappmanager, but I doubt that one was eating a lot of power. ** Also affects: unity8 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mir Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: unity8 Status: New => Triaged ** Also affects: unity-mir Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: unity-mir Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: unity8 Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity-mir Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236508 Title: unity8 (+Mir) draws more current and uses more CPU than non-Mir variant To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1236508/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
