After performing a few tests, the problem seems to be that if a tab using youtube's html5 player exists at browser start, chromium will spin @ 100% cpu. Closing that tab makes the cpu usage drop to normal levels.
What is odd is that if no youtube html5 tab exists at startup and I then create a new tab and visit the same URL, the problem is not observed, so it seems it might be a bug related to auto-playing html5 embedded media? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1321602 Title: chromium browser chews 100% CPU in epoll_wait() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1321602/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
