Closed knodalyte closed 8 months ago

knodalyte commented 8 months ago

Describe the bug Even when idle, even after just starting clifm, CPU usage is constant at about 3.4% on linux

To Reproduce Start clifm observe CPU usage in bpytop or similar utility

Expected behavior Since clifm is idle, I would expect CPU usage to be 0.0%

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: linux 6.5.10 (Sparkylinux, a Debian derivative)
Terminal: kitty
CliFM version 1.15
- Installation source: Opensuse .deb

Hi @knodalyte, thanks for reporting.

After a few quick tests on my machines, I'm not getting any unusual or unexpected CPU usage. Was this happening before 1.15?

Try running in stealth mode (-S) to discard config issues.

knodalyte commented 8 months ago

I didn't notice it before 1.15. Running in stealth mode did not make a difference.

leo-arch commented 8 months ago

Could you confirm it wasn't there in 1.14?

Also, try running the git version, on a different terminal and a different shell.

I built and installed 1.14 from git. I did not show excessive CPU time. I ran 1.15 again and it did not show excessive CPU time, either. I am baffled, but I will close this issue.
