[Bug 1508219] Re: Possible high CPU usage by firefox while screen is locked

 

I'm sorry but now it *seems* for me, that it's not firefox, but maybe
compiz related (hmmm, or both?), please read the newer bug report of
mine: bug 1516308

Title:
  Possible high CPU usage by firefox while screen is locked

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It's a bit fuzzy report, I have to admit, and more like a feeling, as
  I can't check it out too well, but I haven't experienced that in
  previous Ubuntu versions before upgrading to Wily.

  I have firefox running with many tabs open. The CPU usage (without too
  much active pages, ie no videos etc) is about 10-30% at max. If I lock
  my computer I always hear the fan of the notebook switches onto a
  higher speed, which disappears if I unlock the screen. It's a bit hard
  to check it out, if it's really because of firefox, as I can only use
  "top" if my desktop is unlocked of course, but I can still notice that
  CPU usage of firefox is still about decreasing after unlocking.
