node-webkit incompatible with Mac OS X - CPU usage goes to 100% and system hangs #2723

Closed Emasoft closed 9 years ago

Emasoft commented 9 years ago

Node webkit-helper is frequently using more than 100% of cpu on OS X, heating up the system and stopping all other processes, and making the system unresponsive until the webkit-helper process is killed manually from system monitor. This happens with almost all nw based applications I tried. It seems that node-webkit has a problem with the underling OS X. Upgrading to Yosemite didn't solved the issue.
