Package: gnome-clocks Version: 3.14.1-1 Severity: minor I found that the amount of CPU time gnome-clocks uses for rendering a running stop watch or timer and even more what it causes Xorg and in a smaller way gnome-shell to consume is simply way out of proportion.
The combined (gnome-clocks + Xorg + gnome-shell) CPU usage on this laptop as reported by top goes over 50% (of one core, that is), same on my desktop machine (intel and radeon graphics, respectively). This makes it somewhat unsuitable to run on battery power. Given the relatively simple graphic effects it displays, I would expect much less resource consumption. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-clocks depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.22.0-1 ii geoclue-2.0 2.1.10-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+b1 ii libgeocode-glib0 3.14.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgnome-desktop-3-10 3.14.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.5-1 ii libgweather-3-6 3.14.1-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 gnome-clocks recommends no packages. gnome-clocks suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
