I suppose this is a driver that would still be in the picture when switching to Mir, and we can't hope to avoid the issue by changing display servers? You could test this by following the directions at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Testing/Mir>.

Attached is the output from running health-check (found in PPA:colin- king/white) on init pid 1114. Key points: 1. messages being read/written at ~600 messages a second, hence the high context switch rate and ~4.9% CPU load. 2. heap consumption: ~30K a second using brk() and 2K a second via mmap To reproduce: Install health-check: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colin-king/white sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install health-check Download a large mp4 to the phone. Keep screen from blanking using: sudo powerd-cli display on bright & then play the mp4: dbus-launch mediaplayer-app test.mp4 --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/mediaplayer-app.desktop --stage_hint=main_stage And then observe that init is busy for 300 seconds: ps -e | grep init 1 ? 00:02:56 init 348 ? 00:00:00 init 1114 ? 00:03:22 init sudo health-check -p 1114 -d 300 Attached are my results for a 30 minute run.
