Can confirm this bug also affects me. `gnome-shell` is currently consistently the top program in `top` -- ~5454092 (Virt) / 2.4g (Res) 15.2% Mem
Other behaviors I've noticed: - Nautilus is slow at times - When browsing the filesystem from a web browser (ie. attaching a file, or any "file dialog" moments), selecting the file causes it to hang for 5-10s Did not have any of these problems with 18.10. Some system-specific details: - I use an NVidia card (v418.56 of drivers, GTX 960 card) - Steam is running (I saw a few other people mention it; don't know if this would be salient or not) - I had to disable Wayland so that my system would boot correctly (This seems to be an NVidia thing) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815550 Title: gnome-shell high memory and CPU usage when desktop files are constantly created or deleted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1815550/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
