Description of problem: Recently I'm noticing quite high CPU usage the gnome-terminal - it's hitting top position in my top - especially when I try things like playing audio.wav files in mplayer with it's oneline update status (showing position in the played file). Taking about 10% of CPU just to draw one line on 2.2GHz C2D CPU is quite some power taken for nothing. Considering the xterm isn't visible doing the same operation. And even for movies it consumes more then 2% of CPU (actually still more than the decompression of the movie by mplayer) Unsure whether this is problem of Xserver (EXA) rendering or somewhere else ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.21.90-1.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: For me the following steps are enough Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gnome-terminal 2. run mplayer file.wav 3. watch top Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
