[Bug 682779] Re: gwibber-service consumes 100% CPU when the network is down

 

I tried to reproduce this today but with no luck.  So either:

1. The issue is fixed.  I think this is the case, because I haven't
   observed this issue for a long time and I've been using a lot of
   different/laggy networks for the last six months.

2. My testing method wasn't good.  I tried two things: I disconnected
   the network and watched Gwibber in htop for awhile.  I also used
   'tc' to make my interface randomly drop packets.  In both cases,
   Gwibber performed well.

So I think this should probably be marked 'Invalid'.  I'll do that now
and if I'm wrong about it this bug can be reopened.

  Last week I was on a network with heavy packet loss (something like
  40-80%)... occassionally the connection would just die (100% packet
  loss, but still "connected") and gwibber-service (two instances of
  them) would each consume 100% CPU (thus DoSing both cores on my
  machine).  It would fix itself if the network connection was restored.
