Chromium + Flash + Pandora = very high CPU usage

I know Pandora is far from the most efficient software out there, but in Chromium it takes roughly 1.6 GHz of CPU cycles, compared to 260 MHz in Firefox.  Same version of Flash (64 bit preview).  I was hoping to switch from Firefox to Chromium as it seems to be faster overall, but draining my laptop's battery like this is a show-stopper.
chromium 10.0.648.205-1
xorg-server 1.10.1-1
xf86-video-ati 6.14.1-1
Firefox 4.0 (64-bit) from upstream
Adobe Flash 10.3 d162 (64-bit preview)

The almost exact 100 wakeups per second makes me wonder if Pandora tries to redraw constantly but gets throttled to 100 FPS in Firefox.
Edit: Okay, I guess I should have done a little more research before posting here; seems to be a known problem with Pandora and Chromium (on Windows and Mac also (!)):

    I think xml schema is created already...and its progressing as you stated above. Please correct if i am wrong.
    I found all these sql from AWR report and all of these are very high resource consuming queries.
    And i am really sorry if i am irritating you by asking all stupid questions related to xml.

  • Flash causes very high CPU load (including high Xorg load)

    Hello everybody,
    this is my first message. I'm an Arch user since a few months, and I'm pretty sure this is the distribution I'll stick to - I pratically love everything about it, especially its simpleness. It's the first Linux that doesn't scare me away with tons of configuration files scattered around dozens of different locations. I've already gotten quite a number of things fixed by myself without even looking at the forum or wiki.
    Well, it seems most of these statements can be found in most first forum posts, so I'll stop to bore you...
    The problem: Playing flash videos or animations causes incredible processor load: Even youtube takes a whole CPU core (or even a little more), top shows around 80% for Xorg and around 20-30% for Firefox (a little less with Opera). I'm on Arch64 with XFCE, Athlon X2 4600+, NVidia 8200 chipset (which has severe driver problems anyway; I'm using the latest NVidia beta driver). I'd try the open source nvidia driver, but (it seems that) there's no support for my chipset yet.
    Currently I'm using Adobe's Flash64 alpha, before that I used various versions fo the nspluginwrapper. 32-bit Flash also caused high CPU load, but it wasn't that much and it may have been related to nspluginwrapper rather than anything else; however I have got the impression that things became even worse with the switch to the x64 alpha (performance-wise; on the other hand, it at least loads faster and doesn't crash anymore). Like said before, youtube takes one core, but it mostly works ok then, but videos with higher resolutions that youtube's are practically impossible to watch (except when there is very little movement in the film). Neither Flash hardware acceleration on nor off makes any difference.
    I've already read half of the web, searched in forums, wikis, etc., but didn't find anybody with the same problem. When Flash64 was released and people were reporting good improvements, I was hoping it would be the same for me...
    What I'm looking for is suggestions of things to try... I'm out of ideas what to try and where to look. It just seems strange that I seem to have problems that others don't...
    Thanks for reading and for any comments.

    cerbie wrote:And, do I know you from somewhere--a little more Windows-centric--or are there many ElkMonsters, out here?
    Hehe, I'm also wondering how many Cerbies are out there...
    Really funny. The internet is a small place, obviously. Us meeting in a Linux forum also explains why nobody writes to the LSML anymore.

  • Flash videos and High CPU usage

    Hey guys,
    I have a macbook, and whenever I watch flash videos the fans and CPU usage shoot up. Is this normal?

    Ya got me. I don't run boot camp. But this appears to be normal behavior under OS X. Search the forums, and everybody seems to notice this. So that is normal for this condition. Now, you may not like it that way, and perhaps Windows does it differently, for example, is able to address more memory with the video card, which is a known issue, but for the Mac running its native OS, it is normal. Normal means that this person's computer is not doing anything any different than anybody else's MacBook.

  • Flash causing abnormally high CPU usage and overheating when browsing internet

    Hello,
    Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in) spikes to 110-120% of my CPU usage while browsing the internet. This also causes my computer to overheat. (This also occurs when using Firefox)
    I am running OSX 10.8.4 and I am using Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94
    I have tried uninstalling through the Adobe uninstaller and resetting Safari and my computer.
    I contacted apple care and they said it was a problem with Adobe and I needed to contact you guys.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Very high cpu usage - no programs running!!

    Hi guys
    Was really hoping someone could help me with this problem.
    There is a constant 50-60% cpu usage and the laptop is getting superhot 80c and obviously sending the fan into overkill 6000rpm+.
    But what is confusing is that is like this all the time!! even when there are no programs running at all!!
    and even worse in activity monitor there is no process which can account for that cpu activity/heat. nothing is clocking in at more than 9%.
    I have done repair permissions, used onyx to clean up the system, use clean my mac, rebuilt the index in spotlight and nothing works. the second you switch on and log on the problems start.
    I cant think of anything else to do apart from doing a complete reinstall which is obviously something i would like to do avoid so any ideas to why this is happening? and how is it possible there can be cpu activity that is not accounted for?
    thanks for any help/advice you guys can provide

  • Flash Player Causing high CPU usage NT Kernel

    Hi
    I have windows 7 with Firefox 26 and noticed that the NT Kernel and system process is running my cpu at 50% - I have a dual core.
    After some research and testing I have realised that it is flash causing it when a site opens like Ebay for exapmple.
    If I deactivate the plugin all is fine - cpu at about 7 - 20%.  Ebay etc will ask to activate the plugin and the CPU jumps.
    Same thing with other flash sites. Facebook etc
    No issues with the other browsers - Chrome and IE.
    I have tried uninstalling flash and firefox - and then doing a clean install but not fixed.
    I tried posting on the firefiox forum and they recommended to come here.
    Any thoughts?

    No that would be too much pain I think - copying everything across again.
    No, no, no... I mean create a new admin account JUST FOR THE PURPOSE of testing the installer. It'd be a totally blank, empty account.
    THAT'S the best way to determine if your account has permissions issues. If the installer and Flash Player works, as it does on your wife's account, you'll know where the trouble lies... in your account, which may or may not mean you have to move everything over. If this isn't something "liveable", then move stuff. If it IS liveable, then I wouldn't bother.

  • DW CS3 very high CPU usage

    Just installed DW CS3, installation went normally without any
    problems. However when I start the program, DreamWeaver.exe
    constantly occupies between 80 and 100% of the CPU resources - even
    when minimized.
    The same happens on 2 XP SP2 systems, one 3GHz 1GB RAM where
    I have DW8 installed, and one 1.7GHz dual-core 2GB RAM laptop with
    a fresh Windows installation and no other Adobe/Macromedia stuff
    installed.
    I tried to repair the installation, to uninstall / reinstall
    (with a reboot after every operation) , but the problem remains.
    Is this a known issue, probably with a known fix?
    Thanks

    detail exactly
    what you did? Is this the Win XP setting you're talking
    about?:

  • High cpu usage when using flash player

    Hi,
    Just updated to Mavericks and now I'm having very high cpu usage while watching streams using flash player. CPU usage is somewhere around 110% and after a moment the stream starts to lag and fps is slowing down. I also tried using Chrome but with no difference. Flash player is the newest version 11.9.900.117.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    i think its the best to hit the report a problem button in safari, since its appears since i updated safari to 5.1.4! maybe they make a additional update

  • Since 10.4.6 Update: "ATSServer" with high CPU-usage when opening PDFs

    Since I've updated to 10.4.6 my system is very slow when I open PDFs (in "Preview" or "Acrobat").
    This is caused by the process "ATSServer" which goes through every file in "~/Library/Fonts" (I have over 4.800 files there - but just a view are activated by "FontBook") and so it takes very high CPU-usage.
    I didn't have this problem bevore the update and I didn't make any changes on my font settings.
    I've cleaned the font cache, but it doesn't help.
    Any ideas?

    I haven't noticed any change myself, Dan, but I have the 2 GHz model.
    One thing I HAVE noticed though after OS updates is that they can often result in a fair amount of file and free space fragmentation immediately after installation. OSX's routines will deal with fragmentation of small files , but not of large ones (over 20 Meg), and it won't deal very effectively with free space fragmentation. If your HD is getting full this can cause significant slowdowns, especially where video is involved.
    You should also run DiskUtility and check for any directory and permissions issues.

  • High CPU Usage On client application when upgrade remote SQL database

    Hi,
    Is anyone here encountered very high CPU usage after upgraded the database from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012? Following describes my issue.
    I have my client application running on Windows 7 that access to central database (SQL 2005) on Windows server 2003 using ODBC connection, this client application basically query data and perform data insert and update. There are a number of this similar
    clients connected to the database.
    Due to slowness of the database server, company decided to upgrade the database server to SQL 2012 and also new hardware runing Windows Server 2012. There is no change on the client application and client hardware and the client application still using the
    same ODBC connection to query, insert or update the new database server.
    The problem I am now experiencing now is that my client PC where my client application running the CPU usage is very high almost hitting 100% when accessing to the central database. I am also noticed this program lsass.exe that utilized almost 40-50% of
    the CPU time when client application accessing the central database.
    Is anyone here know, why client PC CPU usage 100% when access to upgraded SQL 2012 database? What is lsass.exe program doing, it only appear when accessing to database server. How to reduce the CPU usage on client?
    Thanks.
    Chee Wee.

    Hello,
    After upgrading, please rebuild indexes and update statistics on the databases.

  • High cpu usage for garbage collection (uptime vs total gc time)

    Hi Team,
    We have a very high cpu usage issue in the production.
    When we restart the server, the cpu idle time would be around 95% and it comes down as days goes by. Today idle cpu is 30% and it is just 6th day after the server restart.
    Environemnt details:
    Jrockit version:
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)
    BEA WebLogic JRockit(TM) 1.4.2_05 JVM R24.4.0-1 (build ari-38120-20041118-1131-linux-ia32, Native Threads, GC strategy: parallel)
    Gc Algorithm: JRockit Garbage Collection System currently running strategy: Single generational, parallel mark, parallel sweep
    Number Of Processors: 4
    Max Heap Size: 1073741824
    Total Garbage Collection Time: 21:43:56.5
    Uptime: 114:33:4.1
    Total Garbage Collection Count: 420872
    Total Number Of Threads: 198
    Number Of Daemon Threads: 191
    Can you guys please tell me what would be problem in the server which causing the high cpu usage?
    One more thing I would like to know is that why the total number of threads is 198 when we specified the Executor pool size as 25? I agree that weblogic would create some threads for its maintenance but around 160 threads!!! something is wrong I guess.

    Hi,
    I'm having a similar problem, but haven't been able to resolve it yet. Troubleshooting is made even harder by the fact that this is only happening on our production server, and I've been unable to reproduce it in the lab.
    I'll post whatever findings I have and hopefully we'll be able to find a solution with the help of BEA engineers.
    In my case, I have a stand-alone Tomcat server that runs fine for about 1-2 days, and then the JVM suddenly starts using more CPU, and as a result, the server load shoots up (normal CPU utilization is ~5% but eventually goes up to ~95%; load goes from 0.1 to 4+).
    What I have found so far is that this corresponds to increased GC activity.
    Let me list my environment specs before I proceed, though:
    CPU: Dual Xeon 3.06GHz
    RAM: 2GB
    OS: RHEL4.4 (2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp)

    So, I'm running with the default GC strategy which lets the GC pick the most suitable approach (single space or generational). It seems to switch to generational almost immediately and runs well - most GC runs are in the nursery, and only once in a while it goes through the older space.
    Now, if you look at [Sun Oct 22 02:50:27 2006], that's when everything changes. GC starts running every second (later on it's running 3 times a second) doing huge sweeps. It never goes through the nursery again, although the strategy is still generational.
    It's all downhill from this point on, and it's a matter of hours (maybe a day) before we restart the server.
    I guess my only question is: What would cause such GC behavior?
    I would appreciate your ideas/comments!
    Thanks,

  • High CPU usage - Rapid Battery Drain - Running HOT

    Looking for help.. PLEASE!
    Z10 - Model STL100-3 Software release 10.2.1.2179
    Symptoms;
    Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, I notice my Z10 getting hot in my pocket. I run the device monitor App and see a very high CPU usage, which consequently drains the batter very quickly.
    I've tried all the solutions from every support group thread and blog. And I mean ALL!
    Pulling the battery
    Replaced the battery
    Removed the SIM
    Deleted G Mail
    Removed all 3rd party Apps (2)
    Stopped email sync
    Stopped calendar sync
    Turned off all radio
    Turned Off Wi-Fi
    Let it sit for hours, even days to let it finish doing whatever its trying to do
    Etc Etc Etc.
    Finally, I called BB support, they wanted $50 to talk to someone. I told them the issue, they said the device is bad and must be replaced. I said its software related!! They said.. no, its a hardware issue. Device is under warranty and they want me to just go get a new one. I don't want a new one, I want a fix! Stop the waste of BB $
    Temporary solution
    Eventually, I decided I would do a restore, back to the factory settings, and here's when I found something
    I run BB Link, connect the device, do a back-up... and LOW AND BEHOLD.. this fixes the high CPU usage and the device runs great, very cool, low cpu and extremely long battery life.
    Sadly! .. this problem reoccurs, after a few days, sometimes after a couple of weeks and just out of the blue.
    I can force this fault to occur, simply by doing a restart of the device. Sure enough, it will run hot, use all the cpu and I will have to do a back-up to get it to settle down again. I've tried to wait for the so called 'indexing' to finish, but it never stops running with high cpu and doesn't help.
    Can any one tell me whats happening and how to make this a permanent fix?
    There are hundreds if not thousands of people having very similar issues, and many different methods to fix it. Its my belief that there is an underlying bigger problem that relates to all these differing fixes, but as yet.. I cant find it and none of these fixes work for me. For now... I will keep doing the occasional back-up and hope I get a response that can help.
    Thanks to all that read this.

    The heat may be normal. After a little water damage incident, which I repaired, I disassembled my Z10 the find a small heat sink will thermal compound. This helps dissipate heat efficiently. I found a large number of air bubbles and possibly a large air pocket by the way the paste stuck to both sides. I removed the old paste and replaced it with artic silver paste and the z10 has been much much cooler. It use to run about 105*f and now it is around 85*f.
    See this thread I posted for before and after pictures using a thermal imager.

    @Curve8530 .....as much a s your discovery is appreciated, I hardly believe that most people will actually dismantle their phone to remove the paste and replace with arctic silver. Besides, what you are doing is not a fix for the actual problem....
    In most cases, this heat is associated with apps using the CPU resources beyond the normal limits.
    As an easy fix, finding and removing the app(s) in question followed by a reboot, solves the issue. In some cases an OS reload is necessary.... but under no circumstances I would even remotely suggest to any member to dismantle their phone and do what you did...     

  • Unusually high cpu usage with iMovie 6.0.3

    I'm having trouble with very high cpu-usage. Just the open imovie app is taking up about 50%, during playback it sometimes peaks over 100%! The project file is pretty big (about 30 gig), but that is mainly because of the amount of footage imported into it. The movie itself is about 25 minutes in length. There is some audio editing going on: some soundeffects, musicfiles (no drm-protection), audio commentary that i recorded within imovie. I know that imovie has trouble when there is a lot of audio/audio editing involved and this project is probably a little more complex than other stuff i did in imovie, but i never had such problems. i can hardly use playback anymore. I recently updated Quicktime to 7.6.4 and Perian to version 1.2.1. Any ideas what's going on or how to work around the problems? Since the movie is about 80% finished i don't really want to start all over again. Thanks in advance for your input!

    Hi Klaus1
    I have several plug-ins by cfx and the slick volumes 4, 6 8 and 10. I can post a list of all of them if you like. Up to now they never made any trouble, but you'll never know...
    The edit in the timeline is about 25 minutes long. But the project file contains captured dv-footage of about 2 hours, so that alone adds up to something like 26 GB. Then there are a few rendered effect-clips done with some of the plug-ins like stabilizing or color correction which also add to the 30 GB, as well as some audio-files (some music, my voice-over commentary). I emptied the trash several times while working on the movie. At this moment there are only a few MB of erased audio in it.
    It all sounds a bit like this is an insanely huge and complex project, but as i said, i have done projects like this in imovie without the massive cpu-usage. I'd like to continue to use imovie, but if this problem keeps coming up with future projects, i might as well take the step and switch to Final Cut Express.
    For now I will try your idea of exporting the movie as it is now and open it in a new project file.
    Thanks for your help and input so far!

  • Microsoft Office 2004 -- extremely high cpu usage and virtual ram

    hi,
    when i use office it causes a very high cpu usage even when its in idle mode.
    i am unable to work with it, because its extremely slow.
    does anyone have same experiences?
    thanks for your help!
    mbp 2.0 1,5gb ram 80gb hdd   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am able to work OK with office, I'm using the 'old version' Microsoft Office v.X, not much details in the About Box, just listed as MSoft Word/Excel/etc for Mac service release 1.
    I get the occasional crash, and I have seen Word in particular use 90% of a single core and amazingly large virtual memory usage, gigabytes sometimes, but eventually the document gets printed.
    It shows how useful the dual core (or quad) cpu approach is!
    One cpu for Word to print, and one cpu to run the rest of my applications/life!
    I still use this old office rather than re-booting into Window§ for whatever is the latest version of office.
    Doing some playing with a similar one page document in Office v.X and Pages 2.01, I get Word using about 25% of a core , Pages using 5%, - whilst editing; Intel native Pages has 20% of a core and 80MB ram 480 virtual whilst printing, Word has about 100% of a core and 65MB ram 650 virtual whilst printing, but it is a powerPC code so Rosetta is in there somewhere.
    check Activity Monitor or other apps/widgets for some parasitic processes? have fun!
