CPU usage suspiciously high while idle

I have the following problem, help is very appreciated
Right after my computer finishes booting the CPU usage raises up to approx. 55% on both cores, I'll attach a screenshot to clarify.
What can be the cause of this?
To me, Xorg seems to be using more CPU than it needs.. still it's not 55%. The performance isn't bad either, the system works very well.

Thanks in advance for any help

well well... looks like compiz WAS the problem after all... must've messed up while testing. So i 'found' a 'decent' workaround.
Deactivated compiz (set metacity as the WM) and removed compiz-icon from the startup applications, then i enabled metacity compositing (because i use both screenlets and docky)... and that's it, .. for now

Satellite A45 - CPU usage is high and applications slow

Hi all,
I'm trying to debug a hardware problem on my Toshiba Satellite A45. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't believe this is OS or software related.
THE PROBLEM: CPU usage is high and applications slow to a crawl after using a memory intensive application for a few minutes, i.e. viewing a video or playing a game. Basically, anything that might use the screen a lot. If instead I work only from a command prompt, even when the application might be doing a lot of work, I don't encounter this problem. After shutting down all application, CPU usage is still higher than normal (90% idle, should normally be about 99% idle).
Xorg typically now showing about 6% usage (normally < 2%). If I at any time after this try to work in any application, usage is still bogged down. Only a reset gets me back to normal.
Note: My system had always worked fine, and I had not done any software installation or changes when this started happening.
However, the laptop did go through an 800 mile round trip in the back of the car in a padded laptop bag.
DEBUG: This doesn't seem to be RAM as I have replaced RAM and reseated the RAM, and the problem still occurs. This doesn't seem to be the Hard Drive as I can try to run from a Live CD (no HDD usage) and everything still slows to a crawl.
HELP: I'm not sure how to debug from here.
I don't have extra bits of hardware to do swaps.
Any ideas how to further debug this?
Thanks,
Grommit

Hi grommit
What do You think about the possibility that your PC is becoming overheated?
To me this sounds like such a scenario.
Your using an application which is intensive - which makes the unit warm up a lot probably.
After that everything is sluggish. This is what may happen when cooling is not sufficient - the CPU is throttled to reduce heat generation. And the effect is that the unit works pretty slow.
May I suggest that You try to let the unit be off for some time before trying it again - I don't know your possibilities, but I would put it on the balcony or on the floor below an open window too cool it really much.
Then try again from whatever media you like.
The result? Good performance for a while again? Then either clean the cooling module yourself or have a repair workshop do this for You.
Good luck and stay with Linux! :)

High cpu usage after a while

Sometimes, after a while, firefox (36.0.4) uses up 1 core of my CPU (is a quad core due to hypertreading). The way it happens is really strange. Many tabs without a problem until suddenly ff decides to floor it. This is alway in the run, not on startup or close. All add-ons need to ask my permissions to be activated, this includes flash.
On close, I ordered ff to clear all history and cookies.
Notes that could be important (The behavior encountered while using it. This varies from time to time):
opening new tabs (a lot or a few) => "heavy" load during site loading, then idling
==> The above makes sense
- same as above but load continues to be heavy. => could be some badly written javascript on the site, however, sometimes this occurs with sites I know have no stressful javascript
==> The above seems odd
- Browser is idle in the background (not actively using it). Then all of the sudden "lets floor it until closed".
==> The above seems pretty odd
- When confronted with high CPU usage, closing ff doesn't close it (the ff process remains active. Not a ff process, THE ff process). => High CPU usage remains
==> The above looks like that there is definitely something wrong here
This last one has some other things to keep in mind
- When it happens and I close ff, upon restarting it it will ALWAYS ask to close ff. After confirming to close it, it will start and behave normally.
- When killing ff via the task-manager, or other means like powershell commands, restarting it will result in an idle ff even after every tab is loaded again.
I hope this isn't a heisenbug and there is a solution to this, a reboot ff button would be a nice workaround though. I personally think that it must be some routine in the code that decides to go nuts for no reason.
If you need further details, feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance

Tried those before and tried them again. Unfortunately, the problem keeps repeating itself at random times. As said, sometimes it doesn't occur and sometimes suddenly it does. Keep the following things in mind about this, what seems like a heisenbug, behavior.
- opening new tabs (a lot or a few) => "heavy" load during site loading, then idling
==> The above makes sense
- same as above but load continues to be heavy. => could be some badly written javascript on the site, however, sometimes this occurs with sites I know have no stressful javascript
==> The above seems odd
- Browser is idle in the background (not actively using it). Then all of the sudden "lets floor it until closed".
==> The above seems pretty odd
- When confronted with high CPU usage, closing ff doesn't close it (the ff process remains active. Not a ff process, THE ff process). => High CPU usage remains
==> The above looks like that there is definitely something wrong here
As stated, a reboot ff button would be a nice workaround. I personally think that something like a tread must get stuck in some sort of infinite loop. Browsing in ff works just fine though. I just don't like the fact that I turns into a "gasoline guzzler".
Again, thanks in advance

High Cpu usage flash 11 while videobroadcasting

Good day,
in flash 10 my avg cpu load was 50-60% while broadcasting 7-8 websites at the same time
in betatesting flash11 this has gone a little bit up but was still within margins
when the definitive version came out, i am only able to broadcast 3 sites with a CPU load of 90%
please tell me what i can do to lower cpu usage.

The linux version of flash has no hardware acceleration for most (it has mediocre acceleration if you have an nvidia card that supports vdpau), so it uses lots of cpu. On my laptop with a core i5 2.53 ghz, a 720 flash vid will use 20-30% cpu. The same video played in a native application like mplayer will use like 5% (and I don't even have any video acceleration enabled in mplayer because vaapi is buggy for me)
litemotiv wrote:Also check what you have set in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
I recall reading somewhere that the mms.cfg tweak to force hw accel no longer works in flash 11, but I cant seem to find the source on that now.

@AliWam Thanks!Conky was the problem.When i kill conky CPU load drops.Strange :S But i want conky on my desktop,i hope there is solution for this.
@lagagon When i kill conky cpu load is normal (0 - 2 %),with conky 20-30% when laptop is idle.This is my "lspci":

Why is Flash CPU usage so high on my PC?

To other psoters here - Please do not hijack my thread for any other performance issues with Flash other than high CPU usage.
This thread is (hopefully) dedicated to why the CPU usage on my desktop PC jumps when I go to a page with flash 'content'. Thank you!
I am hoping that there is an answer for why my computer is using a very high amount of CPU percentage when I am viewing flash content?
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 on a Gateway GT5432 desktop computer.
I have Shockwave Flash version 11.7.700.169 installed.
I am using Firefox version 20.0.1 (but I have seen same problem of high CPU with Google chrome).
Here is one page that is causing the high CPU usage.
-   http://logansroadhouse.com/Default.aspx
That page appears to have lots of Flash content.
If I open that logans roadhouse page, my CPU usage goes from an average of 12%, to 80%!
The process I see jump are:
- Firefox's "plugin-container.exe" goes from 0% to about 50%
- Firefox browser "firefox.exe" goes from around 8% to 14%
- Adobe's plugin "FlashPlayerPlugin_11_7_700_169.exe" goes from 0% to 16%
- TOTAL CPU change from 8% to 80% after opening up just this one page !
When I close the page, the CPU usage goes down again. Open again - CPU goes high again.
Also if I go to the firefox addons page and DISABLE the SHOCKWAVE FLASH plugin, then go to that Logans Roadhouse page, very little of the content I saw with Flash enabled is visible - which I take to mean it is a page consisting of lots of Flash 'content'. Also the CPU usage remains low (8%) if I go to that page - after disabling the Shockwave Flash plugin.
I have seen the CPU also go high on youtube.com pages also - CPU jumps just as I said above - if Flash is enabled. CPU then drops after disabling Flash plugin.
I was hoping you had a fix for my problem? My PC becomes almost unusable with the CPU so high. It sure looks like it is the Flash plugin driving the CPU so high.

I am also facing the same problem from last 2-3 weeks since i upgraded my flash player to latest one.
All softwares and drivers are upto-date.
I play wartune MMO flash browser based game (also applicable to youtube videos) which is now using above 80% of CPU. Before upgrading, CPU usage was normal around 5-15% depending upon the events, but not more than 20% even if i open 3-4 accounts of wartune in different windows at the same time. It happens in all browsers (IE10, Mozila22.00, Opera12.15, Chrome27.0.1453.116 m).
I tried all solutions like disabling hardware acceleration, flash cache size to unlimited, clearing all flash cache etc but the same problem.
Please fix this problem as soon as possible.

CPU usage very high, performance low

Using activity monitor, I gauge my cpu usage to be between 50 and 60 percent, with the Activity Monitor being THE ONLY APPLICATION OPEN! There are only two events which I can remotely correlate to this problem: downloading and using a new version of Firefox (3.07) and downloading and using Amadeus so I could listen to a Wiki file.
When I open Firefox or any other application, CPU usage goes straight to 100%. Then the machine slows down significantly. Any ideas?

You guys are not going to believe this! I did some searching where I discovered this comment by a user on MacRumors (sp?) named "cyantist:"
"For some reason I remember having this issue a while back, and the solution was this: right-click on the desktop > show view options > deselect show item info. It worked for me, but it wasn't Finder that was giving me 100% cpu, it was Safari or Camino."
Well, I couldn't really figure out what he had done but I right-clicked on the desktop>More>Configure Folder Actions> disable Folder Actions. Voila! Finder and mds dropped off the Activity Monitor list with percentages less than 1. Yikes! I did some experimentation and it turns out that all one has to do IS RIGHT-CLICK ON THE DESKTOP! At first, I thought it was toggling every time I selected and deselected "Enable Folder Actions," but doggone if the Finder and mds didn't drop off the map by simply right-clicking on the desktop. Bizarre! Now, with Activity Monitor and Firefox open, the cpu is running between 10% and 20%. Go figure! I'm not going to mark this problem as solved until someone chimes in with a reasonable explanation (which might come from . . . The Twilight Zone . . . )

Kernel CPU usage ad 250% on Idle MacBook Pro 13"

I recently (August 2011) purchased a MacBook Pro 13", 4 GB Ram, Intel i5, 320GB HDD. This is my first MAC and I was pretty excited.
However after using it for a few months one issue is constantly bothering me.
When I start up my MAC the fan starts making loud noises. This happens 75% of the time. AT first I thought that it would go away and went aboyt my work. Slowly I realized the the MAC was actually very slow and the fan noise never subsided. When it does the MAC works like a charm.
I checked the memory usage in the Activity Monitor and found it to be healthy. At this moment with a Browser (chrome) and Finder opened it has 2.6 GB of free memory. However the CPU usage is very surprising. Just one process, which is teh kernel task is hogging everything and is at 250% consistently. WHen it does come down (sometimes when I am lucky) the fan noise also subsides.
Has anyone faced this issue? Or am I just one of those unlucky people who got a bad MAC.
Any help/pointers etc appreciated. I dont want to be disappointed with my MAC experience.
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/com\.apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Step 4
ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Remember, steps 1-4 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.

CPU Usage of Xcode while editing

Hi,
I have a early 2011 Macbook Pro 13, and i am a college student and use my mac for my college needs and also for some development work. I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion, and i found everything to be fine, until today i found out in Activity Monitor that, when i just opened a C++ file to edit it,not even an Xcode Project, just the file, Xcode was taking a very high CPU usage and it started warming the under side of the notebook as well after a few hours. This would not be the case when i had Lion. I am not sure if this issue is specific to Xcode 4.4 or something else.
Please help me get a solution for this..i do coding on the go as well and this eats battery a lot more as well.
Thanks

As mentioned in my post, i did not open an Xcode project to edit the code. i merely opened the folder containing my code in finder, double clicked the C++ file, which opened it in the Xcode editor. In this mode Xcode only gives me code completion and syntax help, but does not show live issues like errors or warnings, so i do not think that your suggestion will help.
In any case i tried your suggestion and it didnt seem to help

CPU Usage is high - WebLogic Server 8.1 SP5

Hi,
We upgraded the WebLogic Server 6.1 to WebLogic Server 8.1 SP5 for one of our application.
The load test with WLS6.1 results,
CPU Usage was peak up to 18% with sessions 10 -15 simultaneously.
The load test with WLS8.1 results,
CPU Usage was peak up to 60% for 12 users simultaneously.
Why this higher CPU Usage in WebLogic 8.1 SP5 than WebLogic 6.1 for the similar environment (hardware)?
Please give us the solution or the suggestions asap.

If MQ V5 clients cannot interoperate with MQ V7 servers, then perhaps MQ V6 clients support the 1.4 JVM? If so, I suppose you can use an MQ V6 client to communicate with V7.
Alternatively, perhaps MQ's "extended transactional client" provides more flexibility in interoperability than the client you're using.

Curious - CPU usage sometimes high!

Sometimes (but not often) I'll notice my Q10 (with OS 10.2.1.3247) is warm and using battery faster than usual.
A check of the CPU usage shows the System as the user of the CPU with usage rate vascillating around 50%.
A reboot thus far has always remedied the anomaly.

Did you add any emails account recently or install anything new like media card?
Or did you do an os update recently?

System CPU usage too high

Hi, i've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for some months.. everytime i try to use perfmon or another program to watch for network usage (download and upload) the System process spikes to 13%~ constantly until i close it.. I could "live"
without that but now everytime i'm using an application on my second monitor, the same thing happens... started happening just an hour ago, and it's really bothering me because i don't have a clue what driver could possibly cause this.
I've tried capturing xperf traces on another forum but they keep come as corrupted as the person whose trying to troubleshoot with me tells me, and i can't seem to get a grip of the xperf analyser myself to see what (driver?) is using the cpu so i can try
to replace it...
Anyway, as i type this it jumped up to 20% and i don't know what to do.
I'll upload two xperf traces here, but at least one is "corrupted" as the other kind member on the other forums told me. (which is the first one below)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36066558/highCPUUsage.7z
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36066558/highCPUUsage2.7z
And the one i just recorded, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36066558/highCPUUsage3.7z
Does someone have another way or can help me find what's causing it?
I used the command xperf -on latency -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 512 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d highCPUUsage.etl
I took a print of the System process Threads in Process Explorer http://i.imgur.com/vbW36rU.png
Before the today's change, the function shown there was mostly ntoskml.exe!KeGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx+0x34, i don't know if that means anything...
Thanks.

NTM
First Xperf has been replaced by Windows performance recorder. Second there was almost no data recorded in your trace. Please run a windows performance trace as instructed in the wiki and upload it. Make sure you run the trace when the
problem is happening
In order to diagnose your problem we need to run Windows performance toolkit the instructions for which can be found in
this wiki
If you have any questions feel free to ask
Please run the trace when you are experiencing the problem

While we're aware of the issue, there's not much we can do about it. The modern security realities facing web browsers have made sandboxing a necessity.
There's a good explanation of what's happening here: http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
Long story short, each video packet has to be passed from the browser to a medium-integrity broker process, then to the low-integrity flash player process for rendering. If an attacker manages to hijack the Flash Player thread, the process is low-integrity, which prevents the attacker from doing much with it. While it's not an absolute guarantee (nothing in security is), it raises the bar significantly for attackers.
The downside is that all of that extra message-passing consumes CPU cycles, especially if you're trying to fill an exceptionally large buffer as fast as possible. There's not a lot of opportunity to optimize this.
If you're fine with the risk, you can manually disable ProtectedMode on your machine. If you're only dealing with trusted sites, and you're not doing anything critical with the machine (work, banking, etc), then it's probably not a huge deal.
Ultimately, ProtectedMode is like a vaccine -- it's a herd-immunity thing. If the majority of people run it, exploits targeting machines without it are inconsistent and probably not worth pursuing when you look at the effort involved in developing an end-to-end exploit. If a large number of people disable it, it becomes economically attractive for people building botnets, and you'll have a problem if you're not using it.
To disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.

High CPU & Memory issues - Excessive and unnecessary CPU usage in Firefox for Windows (see also questions1003966 & 998289)

I am using the latest version of Firefox, 32.0.1, on an HP Pavilion dv7-4141sa laptop computer, running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. There should be more than enough power here to run a browser without any problem, yet the computer is regularly being overloaded by the browser's resource usage.
I am currently measuring typical average CPU usage of 45% - with the browser minimised. That is to say, Firefox is not doing any browser jobs - it is not drawing on the screen - but it is using the most CPU of any process currently running. Why?
I am an ex-software engineer, and my understanding of current application development technology is limited, but I think I can say with some confidence that many techniques and software architectures exist that enable the suspension of program activity, or at least its reduction to a very low bare minimum, when the program is not actually carrying out its design function, which is in this case to draw pictures of website data on a screen.
There is a very serious problem here, one which means that I cannot run Firefox all the time, but have to kill it when I am not actively browsing, otherwise other applications cannot run to their full capacity. This is a great pity, because I have committed a lot of effort to making Firefox my primary web tool. It manages all my many bookmarks, contains my secure password manager (LastPass), manages my web security (via NoScript, AdBlock, and FlashBlock), just for a start.
Before any well-meaning moderators or other commenters start down the usual trail of "have you done this, tried that, disabled the other", I should point out that I have followed all the advice I can find, with no positive outcome. This computer is running a fresh installation of Windows, and a fresh installation of Firefox. At the moment I am running a new test Firefox profile.
The latest version of Adobe Flash, 14.0.0.179, is installed but disabled. When it is enabled and in use, Firefox's CPU usage seems high over longer periods, but overall there is little difference. It doesn't look as though the problem can be laid at Flash's door. A few other add-ins are installed, mainly those mentioned above, and Firefox is skinned with LavaFox v2-Green, but I have previously started from a clean installation, which has made little difference after an initial period during which things seemed to be better. Turning off or disabling various add-ons has made no discernible difference.
Just now I turned Flash on, and after a long period with Firefox minimised, Resource Monitor reported Firefox at 8% average CPU and FlashPlayerPlugin at 0.32%. While running a small video, RM reports FlashPlayerPlugin at about 45% and Firefox at 8%. After the video, Flash went back down to around 0.4%, and after a bit more browsing Firefox went to around 17% minimised. There seems little rhyme or reason here, except that Flash does not seem to be the culprit, although Firefox does seem to consume less when fewer tabs are actually active, as you might expect. I just refreshed more than a dozen tabs, and now Firefox is at 30%, but still not back up to the higher figures. Weird.
The CPU usage does vary a lot around the average, but 30% is still a lot for a program that shouldn't be doing anything above the minimum status maintenance, and still puts it at the top of my Top Process Monitor list. (Right now it's gone back up to 45%, without my using it in any way).
I have Telemetry turned on, so presumably Mozilla is recording some of the relevant data.
This is a very serious fault, which is more or less reproducible and which a lot of people seem to be experiencing. Probably more people have it than realise, because most users will not know anything other than that their computer slows down for some non-obvious reason; they may just think it's something to do with the computer itself, not knowing how to use the Resource Monitor and interpret the results.
Oddly, the problem does not seem to occur when running Firefox under Linux Mint 17, where the response is snappy and the CPU usage ostensibly low; I am going to look at this in more detail shortly.
I am not posting here for advice, but for information and as a form of bug report which hopefully other users will see. It will hopefully spare them a lot of effort and time in trying a lot of recommended "solutions" which will not work. The problem is inherent in the software, and can be solved only by Mozilla.
I am willing to supply any diagnostic data requested; as I said above, I have also turned on "Telemetry". However, I will not be trying out any more reinstallation/new-profile/add-on disable-enable-delete cycles unless I am asked to for very specific reasons. Please do not suggest courses of action which have already been mentioned elsewhere on this forum. I have tried them all.
The situation is very disappointing, but I have confidence that the Firefox developers will pin down the fault eventually and engineer a satisfactory solution that makes it viable to leave Firefox open all the time. Even with that restriction, it's still far better than the alternatives.

I share jmward's frustration. This is not a bug report so much as a request for a badly needed feature, ie the ability to have Firefox be able to tell us which tabs on which windows are eating time so we can target them. There are some very poorly written web pages out there which just plain loop while making no updates or inconsequential updates on the page.
This is not a OS problem; jmward runs Windows and I run Linux but we have the same issue. It is not a question of Firefox plugins or extensions, or even viruses; I have a new, clean Linux install but have the same problem on both my regular Firefox AND on a FRESH install of the latest Firefox (35.0.1) which has *NO* non-default plugins or extensions.
Here is an example of a web page which will eat 100% of one CPU's time:
http://patch.com/massachusetts/arlington/arlington-woman-allegedly-attacks-neighbor-snow-blower-0
I will attach 3 images to back up my claim. All of the images show my dark blue system monitor (gkrellm) superimposed on the web page. The top graph shows CPU time. I have 4 CPUs in my machine, so 25% means the web page is eating 100% of one CPU equivalent.
The first image shows the load of the offending page with elevated CPU usage along with the download net activity on eth0, but the CPU activity does not stop when the download activity is over.
The second images show the steady state 100% CPU equivalent of this page just sitting there apparently doing nothing. It IS, however, doing at least two different things. I know from my regular Firefox where I have "Remove It Permanently" installed that if I remove the the little weather indicator in the upper right of the offending page that CPU utilization drops to about 40% of one CPU equivalent. If I use RIP to remove everything else right down to a bare screen that 40% utilization stays until I delete the tab.
The third image shows the CPU utilization drop to zero when I delete the tab holding the offending page.
Now I will add a note here: If the offending page is NOT the top tab in a window then it stops eating time. The offender will also stop eating time if I minimize the window. However if I have another window up but leave the offender up on top in its window it continues to eat time even tho I am looking at another window. The offender will continue to eat time even if its window is completely covered by another window, and it will also eat time if I switch to another desktop.
I will often have half a dozen windows open, and there are many pages out there which will suck endless CPU time. Unless I want to open up a new tab on each window before I leave it there is likely to be some tab on top eating time uselessly. Get a couple of those going and Firefox becomes sluggish and can even stop responding for many seconds.
I guess I not only want to have Firefox tell us which tabs are eating time, but I would also like it if Firefox would stop giving CPU time to any tab which is not visible because it is covered by some other window and/or it is on a desktop which is currently not showing. If you can stop a tab's CPU usage by reason of tab-not-showing then you should also be able to stop its CPU usage when the window is covered or on the not-top desktop. Indeed is there any reason to not schedule absolute CPU utilization priority to the visible tab on the window with focus and give time to the other tabs only when the visible tab isn't using time?
My final thought on this is that I have had Firefox SO tied up sometimes that I swear their are web pages which are eating time even tho they are not the top tab. I regret that I do not have an example to show you. But Firefox grinds to a complete halt on a regular basis, and that is not acceptable. I am a programmer with long experience in multi-threaded programs so I *know* there is no reason you cannot do better. If there were another browser around which had the commitment to privacy which Firefox has I would probably switch out of shear annoyance. :-(

High CPU Usage with Flash Player 11

I am not sure what the problem is but ever since I had those issues I went back to flash archive and installed a previous version that did not come with the flash plug in and I never had any problem with it since I am currently using the Adobe flash version 10 plug in with an adobe flash player active X. and I find out it was the new flash plug in that is the issue it suck all your ram. If you get some people who is having the same issues where flash player is duplicating and eating all their ram then ask them to try the version 10 plug in with the flash 11 active x it will work fine. I tried to run the version 10 flash as a complete set but some dynamic site that plays videos require a later version of flash active x to work and will be asking for an update however by keeping the flash 10 plug in there won't be any other issues. Adobe need to find out what is wrong with the new flash plug in and run a comparison with the flash 10 plug in. I hope this will help some user to get over the issues that made my online experience a nightmare for a while too.

The best way to get a resolution is to address your individual issue. Your complaint is that RAM usage is high, which is unrelated to the thread from the guy on Mac that was seeing High CPU usage on high definition video.
In order to fix the issue that you're describing, we need to be able to reproduce it. Please provide the information below, and the results of the basic troubleshooting steps as you work through them. This will help us narrow down the root-cause, and allow us to find comparable hardware in our compatibility lab to reproduce the issue with.
Basic Troubleshooting Info
To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
- Operating system
- Browser
- Flash Player version - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
- Antivirus/Anti-Malware software and versions
The first step is to work through the video troubleshooting guide for your operating system, here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.htm
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Mac_OS_users
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify this by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the menu.
