Package: guake Version: 0.4.2-1 Severity: serious Recently in my Debian unstable, guake became noticably slower. The typing actually feels slower (keyboard latency), and 'top' reports that Python uses ~6% of my dual core (constantly), Xorg about 32%. That adds up to almost one whole core. Why is Xorg cpu usage relevant? because both two processes decrease down to zero (or almost zero) when guake is rolled-up (F12) or simply not in focus.
Even when stracing guake, everything is peaceful when guake not focused. When I start to focus it prints lots of lines like the following: read(4, 0x2695f14, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) I've been trying the vanilla guake 0.4.2, and same results. Furthermore, I've tried guake 0.4.1 on the same computer and same results. Thus I conclude that something in the environment (Xorg? Python or pygtk?) has triggered the problem, and it's not necessary that something is wrong within guake's code. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages guake depends on: ii gconf2 2.28.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-5 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpython2.6 2.6.6~rc2-1 Shared Python runtime library (ver ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii notification-daemon 0.5.0-2 daemon to displays passive pop-up ii python 2.6.5-13 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-central 0.6.16 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-dbus 0.83.1-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii python-gconf 2.28.1-1 Python bindings for the GConf conf ii python-glade2 2.17.0-4 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-notify 0.1.1-2+b2 Python bindings for libnotify ii python-vte 1:0.24.3-1 Python bindings for the VTE widget guake recommends no packages. guake suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
