What kind of graphics hardware do you have?  If it's nvidia and you're using the nouveau driver, this might be a duplicate of 732508

Seems *no to depend from nouveau driver, or nvidia hardware*: as i Told, I have a intel hardware. Running gtkperf too:

Can you try the -rc3 kernel in koji and see if it helps?

Bingo! Almost same gtkperf results as with kernel-3.0.1-3.fc16.x86_64:

GtkEntry - time:  0.04
GtkComboBox - time:  1.23
GtkComboBoxEntry - time:  1.03
GtkSpinButton - time:  0.14
GtkProgressBar - time:  0.10

Total time: 13.45

And no more CPU peaks after all 10 secs!

Thank you very much!

Thanks for testing!  That kernel should hit f16 updates-testing sometime today.  If you feel so inclined, please give it some karma in bodhi.

I am using Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV670, according to gnome-control-center. Graphic card is an ATI RadeonHD 3800.

Comment 8 Josh Boyer 2011-09-15 10:42:52 UTC
3.1.0-rc6.git0.0.fc16 has the debugging options disabled.  The performance should return to normal.

Comment 9 Stéphane Maniaci 2011-09-15 10:56:27 UTC
Thanks Josh, everything is back to normal with rc6. Sorry for the noise.
