Just adding my voice to the choir here. Using Gutsy, GSM uses between 30% and 100% on my 3.4GHz machine. It spikes when updating. I increased the update interval for each section in turn and found that updating the File Systems tab seems to generate the most CPU usage (though, I should point out that I have several drives and partitions of several hundred GB each, so that may work into it.)
Both top and Htop report similar usage stats. -- Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93847 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
