You folks mention the session bus.  But when I've seen this bug (like my
notes from bug 1480844), it's been the system dbus-daemon that takes
100% CPU.

I attached gdb to it once when this was happening.  We seemed to be
spending a chunk of time in get_recipients_from_list(), which iterates
over every system DBus connection and sees if it is listening for a
given signal, in order to pass it on if so.  I don't *know* that the
actual majority of time was in that function yet, I'm still digging
there.

Title:
  Access points' "PropertiesChanged" dbus signals freeze UI on mobile
  devices

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Krillin, rc-proposed, r83

  
  DESCRIPTION:
  I've been trying to track down the cause of the occasional UI freezes on my Krillin device, and I noticed that whenever the UI freezes for 2-4 seconds, I get a burst of "PropertiesChanged" signals in dbus-monitor

  Here's a log of what's shown in dbus-monitor:
  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11992322/

  I'd guess the problem is in the code that actually catches the signals
  and acts accordingly.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE: 
  1) Move to a place where many wifi hotspots are available
  2) Connect the device via USB and run "phablet-shell" and then "dbus-monitor"
  3) Use the device while keeping an eye on dbus-monitor output
