Description of problem: nautilus takes too much CPU during files copying Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.14.0-1 How reproducible: copy large directory with number of files (e.g. mp3 collection) to another disk and run top(1) Steps to Reproduce: 1. copy directory with big number of files in nautilus Actual results: nautilus takes cca 30% CPU time when copying large directory: top - 15:28:19 up 5:15, 2 users, load average: 4.63, 2.59, 1.37 Tasks: 113 total, 2 running, 111 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 12.6% us, 35.2% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 52.2% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 1816204k total, 1772596k used, 43608k free, 10944k buffers Swap: 1048568k total, 252k used, 1048316k free, 1347548k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3002 katka 15 0 121m 41m 21m S 37.2 2.3 4:41.07 nautilus 2865 root 15 0 267m 122m 9088 S 3.3 6.9 6:18.89 Xorg 4801 root 10 -5 0 0 0 D 1.7 0.0 0:07.79 usb-storage 158 root 15 0 0 0 0 S 1.0 0.0 0:07.05 kswapd0 6102 root 15 0 0 0 0 S 1.0 0.0 0:00.32 pdflush 6108 root 15 0 0 0 0 D 1.0 0.0 0:00.18 pdflush 6107 root 15 0 0 0 0 D 0.7 0.0 0:00.14 pdflush 2 root 34 19 0 0 0 R 0.3 0.0 0:03.83 ksoftirqd/0 2414 haldaemo 17 0 5268 3572 1764 S 0.3 0.2 0:06.64 hald 3056 katka 15 0 70052 12m 9852 S 0.3 0.7 0:03.71 stickynotes_app 3180 katka 15 0 55904 8004 5604 S 0.3 0.4 0:05.95 xmms 1 root 16 0 1988 672 580 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.94 init 3 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 watchdog/0 4 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 events/0 5 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khelper 6 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthread 8 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.10 kblockd/0 Expected results: nautilus should not exhaust CPU that much - it is just displaying progress, not doing any real work Additional info:
This might be better in fc6, I made some changes related to this
I am running FC6, and I am getting 100% CPU usage when copying from a windows share in the same network segment (didn't test with other configurations). I am running FC6 with kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686 and nautilus-2.16.2-5.fc6. The computer is a Toshiba Tecra M1 laptop.
