[Bug 784055] Re: compiz CPU usage increases dramatically when running indicator-multiload

 

This bug was fixed in the package libindicator -
12.10.2+14.04.20140304-0ubuntu1

---------------
libindicator (12.10.2+14.04.20140304-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  * IndicatorImageHelper: always try to use a GIcon or the filename as
    source of the GdkImage We don't need to fallback to pure pixbuf,
    unless an indicator provided a custom icon that is not in the
    current theme path. This helps a lot in reducing the Unity7 workload
    as this decreases the cases where we need to encode the pixbuf
    contents, send them via dbus to unity, encode them back, reload to a
    new pixbuf... Also thanks to this, the library clients can load the
    actual icon, scaled at the value they want. (LP: #784055)

Bug description:
  using 0.1-0~5~natty1 on mostly up to date natty system, when running
  the indicator-multiload with with just cpu monitor and the default
  update interval of 500 milliseconds, I see (via top) that compiz usage
  when generally idle goes from either 0 or 1% of CPU to 3 or 4% of CPU.
  Reducing the update interval does seem to have an affect.

  I realize that 
  a.) top is not scientific
  b.) there could be something I'm missing here
  c.) saying "300%" (in the subject) is not scientific
