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.
Justin
The link you posted is fine. its only around 9%
Here is an example of a page that causes my CPU to freak out

Skype 4.2.0.11 has abnormally high CPU usage while idle.
I can't get my laptop under 70 degrees celsius unless I cpulimit or quit skype, and cpulimiting it actually makes it completely unresponsive, as if some other thread is constantly generating a lot of work and taking priority over the UI thread.
What the heck is skype doing? (And why do any of its threads need nice -10?) It takes up more CPU time than pulseaudio, truecrypt, and deluged combined.
Its CPU usage is constantly between 5 and 50 percent*, it's absolutely horrible.
*While idle. I'm unable to make calls.
I know this is expected from a linux user, but for all I know, Skype is malware. It's not open-source, so I can't find out for myself, and there are no open-source alternatives so the frankly shameful amount of bugs I encounter in Skype will never be fixed.
There are several bugs I'd love to be fixed in Skype, but first, PLEASE, optimize your code. It's absolutely horriffic at the moment.Attached are statistics from my desktop over approximately a 24 hour period for the processes shown (other than firefox and adb).
Pulseaudio tops skype this time but that's because I've had music playing through mpd for a few hours. Skype uses more than 16 times the CPU that pidgin does, and almost double the RAM! RAM isn't shown in the screenshot but take my word for it. Bear in mind that I haven't taken (or made) any calls in this period of time, and pidgin has been signed into three different services and using encrypted chat.
I really wish that at least the protocol would be documented so someone could work around this, at the moment I don't think the guys writing skype realize just how unstable the linux port is. At least it's better than the Android port.
[Edit for those unfamiliar with linux processes: "TIME" is the cumulative time that the program has been scheduled for on any core, effectively making it a measure of total CPU usage for a given time period]

IcedTea High CPU usage and multiple jobs created
High CPU usage and multiple jobs created while streaming data via a java applet from a secure/certified website. CPU usage is normal for a few minutes then suddenly jobs multiply and CPU usage climbs on one of the jobs.
Jobs with the following command begin to multiply in my job queue with one job showing CPU usage at 368% and staying resident in memory (yeah, a long one):
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/bin/java -Xbootclasspath/a:/usr/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar:/usr/share/icedtea-web/plugin.jar:/usr/share/java/js.jar: -classpath /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar sun.applet.PluginMain /run/user/1000/icedteaplugin-tbattist-SZ3xKO/7160-icedteanp-plugin-to-appletviewer /run/user/1000/icedteaplugin-tbattist-SZ3xKO/7160-icedteanp-appletviewer-to-plugin /run/user/1000/icedteaplugin-tbattist-SZ3xKO/7160-icedteanp-plugin-debug-to-appletviewer
I have the following java packages installed on my system:
local/icedtea-web-java7 1.5-1
local/jdk7-openjdk 7.u51_2.4.6-1
local/jre7-openjdk 7.u51_2.4.6-1
local/jre7-openjdk-headless 7.u51_2.4.6-1
I also get the following message in my system log when starting to stream:
Apr 11 12:26:18 saturn logger[7872]: IcedTea-Web java error manual log:
Apr 11 12:26:18 saturn logger[7873]: Application title was not found in manifest. Check with application vendor

Anybody having this issue or clue on what to do? I am wondering if recent changes to openssl (heartbleed) might have java change ramifications? Should I submit bug to Icedtea?
FYI - My system:

Here is a good tutorial on Java. Evidently, what I called "jobs" is referred to as processes and threads in this tutorial. The tutorial states that multithreaded execution is an essential feature of the Java platform which explains the avalanche of threads I observe. However, I am still stumped at what causes the avalanche of threads and excessive CPU consumption for such a mediocre task. Also the system log says that IcedTea has an error stating "Application title was not found in manifest. Check with application vendor". I interpret this to mean that IcedTea does not recognized some application. What application? .....the applet? -
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!

Please help me in this issue...
How can i generate execution plan?
Does this type of XML based query will cause high GC wiat events and buffer busy wait events?
How can i tune this query?
How can i find that this is the only query causing High CPU usage?

And i am really sorry if i am irritating you by asking all stupid questions related to xml.

High CPU Usage and Temperature
I've recently purchased a MacBook with the latest updates, including the firmware for the random shutdowns but lately when I boot the MacBook up, the fans kick on and it reads 83 degrees Celsius with about 65% CPU Usage and I don't have anything running except what came on the MacBook in itself, any suggestions?? Apple told me to take it in to have it looked at but I was wondering if there is anything I can fix perhaps?? Thank you
Sometimes when I connect an external drive which I have made drastic file changes to, there are two process that eat up a lot of cpu power and get the macbook really hot for awhile, those two processed are related to the way spotlight tries to re-index the external drive or the internal hd itself if I had made drastic changes to it too.
Could it be that?
You can see them show up in Activity Monitor, they are mdimport and another one starting with md(something) too.
Hope that helps (if that's the issue)
Best,

Persistent Active Requests causing high CPU usage and load average
Hi, we've deployed a JSP application on standalone OC4J talking to Oracle DB. The whole thing runs on Sun Solaris. On some occasions (still investigating what causes this), the number of active requests rises (as seen from EM console) and never drops down. The weird thing is, the load average numbers are proportional to the number of persistent active request. If there are 3 active requests, load avg will be [3.x 3.x 3.x], and whenever persistent active request exist, CPU usage will shoot up to over 90% (usually between 95% - 100%). When the system is running normally, CPU usage is usually less than 20%. Is it possible to track down this problem and how? Many thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
The icons on the right of the menu bar … show a beachball when I put the cursor over themWell, if this was your only problem I would put it down to a corrupt preference or cache file. Nevertheless, it is worth seeing how much this helps.
The file you need to trash is 'systemuiserver.plist'. But there are potentially two of them, plus it is best to delete your caches as well, so ...
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Caches", delete everything
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
See if this improves the situation, and post back with any remaining oddities. -
Flash Player using high CPU constantly and heating system
Hi I am in India ... from last few months I am noticing that Flash Player is using too much CPU when ever I run IE, Explorer or opera ... when I disable Flash Player then IE and opera work on normal CPU ... I have uninstalled Chrome since I was unable to disable flash player on it ... I have 2nd generation i5 .. 3gb ram ... dedicated 1gb nvidia graphics card ... 750 Gb hdd ... win7 home premium 64 bit ... I am able to easily play Crysis 2 ... halo ... far cry ... wolfenstein 2009 and many more intense graphic games on my laptop without over heating it ... but flash player causes excessive CPU constant use and system to over heat if I watch a complete movie on you tube ... any other compatible player available plz do tell ..... rgds
Hi ... I use admin account only to install new software or games ... for all other uses I log in as an ordinary account
But even when logged in with admin account the same prb persists ... cause of this flash player prb I have even stopped playing games on FB & Zynga ...
For this flash player problem I even took it to acer service center and since I have extended service warranty the engineers there ran acomplete check on ram, hdd, graphic card and they also did a complete fresh install of win 7 home premium 64 bit edition. They even completely serviced it, cleaned it and applied new thermal paste ... but even they were baffled that my system can stand up to high intensity graphic games running from HDD or DVD rom or USB pen drive but if I try to run graphic flash player games for long ie castleville or watch a long movie on you tube then flash player can single handedly cause CPU usage to be constantly high leading to system getting heated up.
Guess will just have to be content without flash ... but some sites require flash player to be enabled and therein lies the problem

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. -
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).

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 (!)):

im experiencing huge amount lag in games and software (autocad)
whenever i run a game (for eg batman origins) it run smooth till 2 or 3 minutes after it lag horrribly
for sake first im getting 45 frames per second then suddenly frame drop to 13 or even to 10
i have to press alt + tab to check task manger it show cpu usage 30%
after that when again i press alt tab to back to game it runs fine for 20 seconds and again lag
i dont what the problem high cpu uasge
system idle process sometime shows around 82%
with 8gb of ram still expericing lag
this problem is with all game that i have played and software like photoshop and auto cad
my cousin own hp 15 r007tx and having same gpu nvidia 820m game runs for on his laptop without a lag
is it window 8 problem or something else??wow finally got the solution by updating bios
just updated the bios from 2.7 to 2.8

i guess different cpu load gpu switching on off was problem
but now everything is running good -
High CPU Usage and Low battery life
Hi to all, I have this problems, my cpu is always over 40% an battery life is short. Before I installed 10.6.2 my battery duration was 4 hours, now is 2 hours. I tryed SMC reset, but the problem is on the CPU usage.
This are Monitor Utility screen print.

Because everything is OK in safe mode you need to track down what isn't active in safe mode that may be causing the problem you are having. Of importance are:
1. Incompatible third-party extensions (drivers) such as may be used for third-party peripherals.
2. Incompatible items located in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder or /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/ folder.
3. Bad fonts located in the /Home/Library/Fonts/ or /Library/Fonts/ folders.
4. Incompatible item in your Accounts' Login Items section.
5. Corrupted caches located in the /Library/Caches/ and /Home/Library/Caches/ folders.
To test the corrupted cache possibility simply remove the above mentioned cache folders to the Trash (but do not delete) then restart the computer normally. If the problem is resolved then you can empty the Trash. -
Rim.desktop.exe high cpu usage and internet activity
What the heck is going on with desktop 6 software? Rim.Desktop.exe is running 10-20% cpu utilization and my router lights are blinking like crazy. It won't shut down right away while this is going on either. I have to force the shutdown to close the app and stop the internet activity. This goes on when my phone is connected or not. Storm 9530.
DeanThanks for the quick reply.
If you do not have that 3rd party add-on running, do you notice a difference in the cpu usage? or network connectivity?
Also did you experience any of these problems with running with DTM 5.0.1
The only network connection that Desktop Manager uses is to register the PIN number and to check for updates and down the new updates. But it does not continue constantly.
I would see if you can use BlackBerry Desktop Software without the 3rd party add-on unless you tried before, to see if it's a third party add-on causing the issue or Desktop Manager.
I look forward to your results.

High CPU usage and program slowing down
Hi. I have helped write a program in AS3 that uses classes. We have 2 frames in our movieclip that consists of an ant moving. We have a class of ants and can create 15 instances of them and the program runs fine with the ants walking around looking for food and going back to a corner that is their nest and going back out again. The ants also respond to mouse movement if the mouse pointer is near an ant.
If we create more than 15 ants, then the program starts to slow down. If we have 30 ants on the screen, then there is noticable stuttering of the ant movement. The CPU usage on a P4 2.5Ghz Pentium is around 50%.
Is this normal? or is something wrong?
I would have thought we would be able to scale up the number of ants easily.
Thanks
Trev.Hi kglad.
Thanks for the reply.
I assume enabling cacheAsBitmap is set in the ant class Constructor, as we have tried that and it has helped, see below. We can now create 30 ants with very slight stuttering.
We have an ant class as below.
public class TAnt extends MovieClip { // lots of code here }
ant Constructor as below.
public function TAnt(newX: Number, newY: Number, sW: Number, sH: Number, rCyc: Number) {
this.cacheAsBitmap = true;
// more code here }
// We have implemented a Finite State Machine for the ant behaviour.
regarding the ants using a loop and using a controller class, I am not sure what you mean.
We are creating instances of the ants in the Ants.fla file which is in the Action file and add each new ant to an array. See below.
for (var a = 0; a < nAnts; a++) {
var newAntX = Math.random() * screenWidth; // randomly generate ant location
var newAntY = Math.random() * screenHeight;
var rCyc = Math.random() * 800;
var ant = new TAnt(newAntX, newAntY, screenWidth, screenHeight, rCyc); // create ant
addChild(ant); // add ant so visible on screen
ants.push(ant); // add ant to array
So we use an array for looping through the ants in the Ants.fla Action file.
Is this the way you mean?
Thanks

How can I identify the cause of high CPU usage
Just recently, my Mac Book Pro CPU usage has gone through the roof, and the temperature quickly rises to around 80ºC, with the fans are working pretty hard to keep it there.
I've looked in Activity Monitor, but there's nothing unusual as far as I can tell in the list of processes, but it does show that the system is continually using between 30% and 40% of the CPU all the time, even if I have no applications running. From a cold start, it starts using that much CPU as soon as OSX loads.
Here's a screen grab of the activity monitor window
One thing I thought was strange is the amount of Virtual Memory that Growl uses (37gb) but according to the growl website, that's not unusual. I've also tried quitting Growl, but it makes no difference.
I have 30GB of free space left on my HD.
Any ideas? I'm worried my Mac Book might be on it's last legs, so I'm hoping and praying that this is something simple-ish.
thanks

Coding isn't that hard actually. The hard part is to write code that makes sense, is readable and understandable. So I want to get a better developer and create some solid architecture. So I want to do create an architecture for NPCs in a video-game.
