high cpu-consumption #8

Closed johuhr closed 4 years ago

johuhr commented 4 years ago

when I activate systray-x, thunderbird permanently uses one cpu at 100%. Thunderbird is hardly usable then. As soon as I deactivate systray-x, cpu consumption returns to normal.

@johuhr and thunderbird version?

Did you install that Qt version with the online Qt installer?

johuhr commented 4 years ago

Thunderbird is 68.5.0 I installed Qt "normally" from the opensuse repository https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt5/openSUSE_Leap_15.1

Ximi1970 commented 4 years ago

Ah thats also possible :smile: I willl have a look.

Looks like my OBS "test" package is only partially working. Did you compile it yourself?

johuhr commented 4 years ago

OBS test package? I compiled systray myself using your Makefile - if this is meant.

Ximi1970 commented 4 years ago

I also got a repo for the add-on but I killed the package refactoring the release mechanics. Need to fix that first.

I installed from the bionic 18.04 amd64 .deb package from Release test 2 and am seeing similar behavior. With the systray-x plugin activated, Thunderbird's CPU usage was continually between 55% and 75%. The moment I deactivated the plugin, Thunderbird's CPU usage dropped to 10% or lower (mostly between 0% and 2%).

System info: Xubuntu 18.04 (64 bit) Thunderbird 68.4.1 (64 bit) Qt version: default repository (sudo apt install qt5-default) Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz

Hopefully this info is helpful.

I created a new test release and increased the default polling time to 5 seconds. You can also select a different polling interval in the settings. Please have a look. Does this solve the high load?

johuhr commented 4 years ago

Yes, it helps! Cpu load gets high every 5 seconds and calms down for the rest of the period. I set the polling interval to 20 seconds - that's enough for me. Thanks for the solution!
