High CPU usage

[slimakovec]

Expected Behavior

It's just timer. It shouldn't use more than 0.1% CPU.

Actual Behavior

It usually uses more than 10% CPU. Also the CPU usage builds up in time, I need to restart Chronos every day in order to keep it around 10%. If I don't restart the app often, it can easily use more than 25% CPU.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Start Chronos
2. Start tracking time
3. Watch the system resources to be eaten up by this app

Specifications

• Chronos-timetracker version: 4.2.0
• OS: OSX Sierra 10.12.6

Attached screen is after running the app for half a day

This is after running the app for one day without a restart. I mean... Come on!

Agree, It's not normal. what version it is?

[VladimirPal]

[slimakovec]

It's 4.2.0. I will profile the app for you once the usage is high

Similar here:

• Chronos-4.0.0-x86_64.AppImage
• Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
• 4.15.0-70-generic #79-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 10:36:11 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

CPU usage is ~1 full core:

...though I'd say I can run chronos for the whole week without increasing CPU consumption. That's the reason why I'm kinda afraid to upgrade to 4.2 =)

Also RAM at ~0.3GB? Uh oh...

here is a brief snapshot of Chronos when the cpu usage is between 10% to 13%

It's OSX "Sample", is this format good for you?

Okay, I was wrong. Restarting chronos helped a lot :) Currently at: 1-3% CPU usage.

@VladimirPal any news on this?

[plonerp]

Still same on the latest version

[veeramarni]

Is it because of using screenshot-desktop package instead of native Electron screenshot?

[porn]

the high CPU problem is present even when the screenshots are disabled
