[Bug 771531] Re: Software Centre is very resource intensive, even when not installing/dling

[Michael Vogt]

Could you please run a tool like "top" or "htop" while s-c is loaded and
check if it keeps using cpu time while its idle? On my oneiric system I
don't see these CPU spikes.

Title:
  Software Centre is very resource intensive, even when not
  installing/dling

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  When using Software Centre, it creates a heavier load on the CPU,
  causing my temps to skyrocket from 60 degrees Celsius to at least 90.
  This occurs when using the Software Centre, even when not isntalling
  or downloading, but is worse when downloading/installing.

  Release of Ubuntu:

  Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:	11.04

  Version of Package:

  software-center:
    Installed: 4.0
    Candidate: 4.0
    Version table:
   *** 4.0 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Hope that helps!
