Ok, you're misunderstanding the 23% CPU time number i wrote there, it meant "23% of the CPU time spent by the program", not that it is using 23% of the CPU itself.
There's a bit more detailed description of where the CPU usage of vertically scrolling comes from at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gf2bRxNc_8R_620o_9J1EZ6GWLGOmNBrvNfLRTLwrqc/edit -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1494795 Title: unity8-dash 100% CPU usage when scrolling Status in Canonical System Image: Triaged Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: i'm on meizu mx4 (stable channel -r4), when i scroll up and down on the apps scope, unity8-dash is at 100%CPU usage. i have 60 apps installed and the apps scope is laggy. another annoying thing is that random icons are missing when i scroll fast up and down. i can see the random icons load.
