Bug ID: 468259 Summary: High CPU usage during intensive scrolling Classification: Applications Product: konsole Version: 22.12.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: yaroslav.rastri...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** scrolling a lot of text incurs large performance overhead. konsole is consuming up to 65% of a single core if I'm doing, f.e. , `tail` -f of a quickly updating log file *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. induce scrolling . easiest way is to run 'while [ 1 ] ; do echo 'testtesttesttesttest' ; done 2. open `top` or run another performance monitor OBSERVED RESULT high cpu usage, over 50% of a single core EXPECTED RESULT negligible cpu usage, as with other terminal emulation software SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: kde-frameworks/plasma-5.104.0:5/5.104 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have tested this with both Gentoo packages built from source by myself , and precompiled Arch linux packages. During investigation I've compiled konsole and QtGui with debugging symbols, and ran `perf record` + `perf report` dwhile reproducing the issue. The culprit seems to be incorrect or excessive usage of alphargbblend_argb32 37.13% 0.00% konsole libQt5Gui.so.5.15.8 [.] QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter<QColorTrcLut, QtSharedPointer::NormalDeleter>::deleter | ---QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter<QColorTrcLut, QtSharedPointer::NormalDeleter>::deleter 0x5645ea71a9c0 | |--31.87%--alphargbblend_argb32 | --5.26%--qt_alphargbblit_argb32 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
