[Bug 364370] Re: high cpu usage after upgrade to jaunty

[Ogilvierothchild]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: icewm
  
  The CPU usage according to 'top' is consistently at 20%-30% for the
  'icewm' process, with the Xorg process also using a similar amount.
  This severely affects battery lifetime on my laptop, rendering icewm not
  usable unless connected to a power supply.
  
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:        9.04
  $ apt-cache policy icewm
  icewm:
    Installed: 1.2.37-1ubuntu1
  ...
  
  Usual CPU usage for IceWM is in the 0%-2% range.
  
  May be related to bug #307306?
+ 
+ After experimenting with many potential changes, including 
+ - icewm version
+ - xorg version
+ - nvidia binary driver and nvidia kernel module versions
+ the only thing that fixed the problem was to run IceWM under the intrepid kernel version.
+ 
+ Under 2.6.27-11-generic there is no problem, but under .28 just running
+ X and a window manager eats a full CPU and a lot of power.
