Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt-index-watcher
This daemon takes 100% cpu a fraction of a second every 9 seconds or so.
This is very noticeable (and annoying) when using cpu-intensive
multimedia applications, such some jack apps or some video players. The
new (propietary) flash player 9 beta plugin is specially sensible with
this.
This daemon and its children processes should run at minium priority, or
make a better workaround (possible solution as far as I understand it:
rebuilding the apt-front indexes each time apt/aptitude terminates and
apt package index have changed).
** Affects: libapt-front (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
** Summary changed:
- apt-index-watcher takes too much cpu
+ apt-index-watcher daemon takes too much cpu
