I confirm on my side that the gsetting suggestion from Ted Gould (comment #8) is working for a user with his homedir over NFS. I have now put it in my default Ubuntu deployment strategy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

HUD is repeatedly opening and closing the database. That is very inefficient on any system, but especially over NFS. (I don't see 2 DBus requests per second as inappropriate, unlike comment #4). Can't it just keep the database open? Nobody else should be using it at the same time. -- You receive

An indicator refresh would cause a check of the usage database if there was a search active, as it could possibly change the ordering of the search. Though, it sounds like that's not the case here. Not sure of the exact cause, but a work around would be to tell the HUD to not save usage data so i

Technically this only affects the user if indicator-multiload is installed (non-default config but it's in the standard repositories in 12.04) AND home directory is on NFS (uncommon). If home directory is on local drive, this will probably have little impact due to caching. But indicator refresh s

I see two problems: 1) indicator-multiload is causing (via dbus?) hud-service to do "something" (update/reload cache?) each time indicators get refreshed. indicator-multiload does not do any "strange" network activity by itself, strace shows quite sane behavior (access to /proc and /sys and such)

I think hud-service should (cache?) store stuff in memory in such situations, if calls are being made repeatedly, for example. But yeah, it's a low-priority task on this end, the rest of the load lies on indicator-multiload. ** Changed in: indicator-appmenu Status: New => Confirmed ** Chan

Thank you for your bug report, it's not likely that those stats create the performance issues though, it's rather an indicator-multiload issue, sending status update over dbus every 500ms ** Changed in: indicator-appmenu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Also affects: indicator-appmenu

If indicator-multiload is running, each indicator update cycle causes this hud-service activity. With the default 500ms indicator refresh time, my workstation is constantly sending ~300kB/s and receiving ~670kB/s from the NFS server hosting home directory, as well as ~9% CPU usage (mobile sandybrid
