High CPU Consumption on Linux

[Siaok]

Tell me if it`s a CONFIG problem

I couldnt find anything that would decrease this issue Whenever i boot up a game, my CPU usage spikes to a 100% (in the process manager, it consume up to 40% to 50%) i the game runs kind of fine, but my PC obviously gets slower, i dont a reason for this to happen, i use a Radeon RX 580 and a Intel Core i5, and i just hope that if this is a bug, it gets fixed, or somebody tells me how to fix it, so, please help me.

I don't think this is a known issue. Does it happen at default settings? Do you use the standalone version or a libretro frontend? Does it also happen with bsnes (not hd)? What are the specs of the CPU?

For me and my i7-3770, in Chrono Trigger with hd7 and 2x up scaling, walking around wold map, im using 30-35% of my cpu, in smaller maps in the game im using about 20-25%, i get no sound issues everything runs perfect. All around the game uses about 40% of my RTX 3060 GPU.

I dont know if this is high or low usage i guess its all relative to the person and hardware. I also played this on my GTX 970 last year with no noticeable issues i remember.

The rendering happens entirely on the CPU and my code is not that great, so it is more CPU intensive than most people will expect, especially at higher scales. I hope this will improve at some point, but I can't make promises for when or how much. On the GPU side you can try different video backends in Settings/Drivers/Video/Driver. That may also help with CPU a bit, maybe. Also you could try RetroArch instead of standalone.
