** Summary changed: - Gnome-Do wakes up the processor too much + Mono programs produce frequent CPU wakeups (in futex_wait)
** Description changed: - I love Do, but I think it's waking up the processor too often. That's - bad because more wakeups = increasing power consumption = global warming - = reduced battery life on laptops. + Bug initially from GNOME Do, but I've been meaning to file something + like this for some time. All mono apps will show up in powertop with + lines like: - I'm using Do 0.6.0 (on Intrepid) and PowerTop 1.10 tells me there's - always 10-20 gnome-do wakeups every second. Only Firefox has a - consistently higher number of wakeups, and that's running a bunch of - tabs/extensions. + 11.1% ( 21.4) gnome-do : futex_wait (hrtimer_wakeup) - E.g. 11.1% ( 21.4) gnome-do : futex_wait (hrtimer_wakeup) - - Can the frequency of this futex wait be reduced? Or removed all together - somehow? + Linked to the upstream bug report. -- Mono programs produce frequent CPU wakeups (in futex_wait) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277323 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
