--- Comment #2 from John <ilikef...@waterisgone.com> --- (In reply to duha.bugs from comment #1) > Mission Center is not developed by KDE. You will have to report the bug to > them: https://gitlab.com/mission-center-devs/mission-center/-/issues I understand that it's not developed by KDE, but I wanted to report a higher CPU usage just by upgrading Plasma from version 6.2.5 to 6.30 as everything else stayed the same (the computer, the OS, Mission Center). And since Htop, that I like a lot and use from time to time is not able to give me a single percentage value of usage and Plasma's System Monitor just fluctuates a lot and too fast to figure out what is the average CPU usage like for the past minute, I had to use another tool and this one is the best, in my opinion. I did a few more tests and I thing I figured out a problem with my before and after value. I discovered that if I change in Plasma's Power and Battery widget the Power profile from "Power save" to "Balanced" the CPU usage shown in Mission Center can reach again 2% on idle. Have a look: https://imgur.com/WQe7wxS Same with the Power profile set to "Performance" Because of that I started looking for another independent option to understand if this different CPU usage problem depending on the power profile is a problem in Mission Center or Plasma, so: I've taken this CPU measuring usage command that gives a single percentage value: grep 'cpu ' /proc/stat | awk '{usage=($2+$4)*100/($2+$4+$5)} END {print usage "%"}' From: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9229580 And combined it with: while script; do sleep 10; done From: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25158585 As I could not make it work with the 'watch' command. The result being this command (which probably works better than with the 'watch' command as you can see a history of values). while grep 'cpu ' /proc/stat | awk '{usage=($2+$4)*100/($2+$4+$5)} END {print usage "%"}'; do sleep 1; done; I've switched the power profile and ran if for all 3 of them and it got me these results: --------------------------------Power Save-------------------------------- 5.06676% 5.0661% 5.06542% 5.06474% 5.0641% 5.06342% 5.06272% 5.06206% 5.06142% 5.06076% --------------------------------Balanced-------------------------------- 5.05539% 5.05476% 5.05411% 5.05347% 5.0528% 5.05217% 5.0515% 5.05088% 5.05024% 5.04962% --------------------------------Performance-------------------------------- 5.03792% 5.03726% 5.03656% 5.03585% 5.03515% 5.03445% 5.03376% 5.03304% 5.03234% 5.03166% So the CPU usage is always around 5% (though decreasing a bit with the higher power profile) and most likely it was the same for Plasma 6.2.5 too and probably I had looked at it while having the Power profile set as "Power save" and didn't know that Mission Center would display an inaccurate result because of it. I will try to report it upstream. Good that Plasma 6.3.0 doesn't have a higher CPU usage than the previous one without any good reason! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
