High CPU utilization with FLV pages

CPU on my PowerBook G4 spikes to 80-90% when I view pages with heavy flash content, is there a way to tune it, or is this the nature of PPC?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
More than likely, this spike is caused by poor coding on the web site. Best remedy is to quit the site. If that doesn't reduce the CPU usage, quit/restart Safari.
Also, make sure you are using the latest Flash - most current version 9.0.45. You can check your current version here.
The most recent Flash plug-in may be found here - in your case it would be the PPC version. When done, Safari automatically opens to the Adobe Flash page confirming the plug-in was correctly installed.
Next, quit Safari and "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in the Utilities folder. If Safari crashes, still "repair permissions".

High CPU utilization with javascript

Has anyone noticed how Safari 10.4.4 has high CPU utilization (e.g. >60%) when javascript is enabled, particularly for certain websites? Opening FoxNews.com and a few Wired.com pages in separate tabs sends my Powerbook fans screaming. Disabling javascript brings utilization down to under 2%.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or do I have to live with it? I prefer not to permanently disable javascript as a number of websites I frequent depend upon it, without consuming CPU.
Thanks,
Ira

Hi,
I agree that it's a function of the javascript code itself on the webpage, and not with the browser. It's possible to even write infinite loops in Javascript which can practically hang a web browser due to the high percentage of CPU cycles being consumed. I only knowingly encountered such a site once, when I was at a customer site with my PowerBook running on battery power. I unknowingly navigated to a site which apparently had some Javascript of some other executable code, which had the result of running my battery from about 95% charge to about 60% in about 10 minutes!
The only way to avoid this is to avoid the sites that cause this kind of problem, or to disable Javascript when visiting these sites. And if possible, send a complaint to the webmaster of the site. He/she might not be aware of this problem.

Very high cpu utilization with mq broker

Hi all,
I see a very high cpu utilization (400% on 8 cpu server) when I connect consumers to OpenQ. It increase close to 100% for every consumer I add. Slowly, the consumer comes to a halt, as the producers are sending messages at a good rate too.

Thanks ak, for the response.
Yes, the messages are consumed in transactions. I set imq.txn.reapLimit=200 in Start Arguments in jvm configuration.
I verified that it is being set in the log.txt file for the broker:
-Dimq.autocreate.queue=false -Dimq.autocreate.topic=false -Dimq.txn.reapLimit=250
It did not make any difference. Do I need to set this property somewhere else ?
As far as upgrading MQ is concerned, I am using glassfish 2.1. And I think MQ 4.3 is packaged with it. Can you suggest a safe way to upgrade to OpenMQ 4.5 in a running environment. I can bring down the cluster temporarily. Can I just change the jar file somwhere to use MQ4.5 ?
Here is the snippet of the consumer code :
I create Connection in @postConstruct and close it in @preDestroy, so that I don't have to do it everytime.

High CPU utilization with SQL Server 2005

Our company recently combined our DBs into one SQL 2005 Server.
Dell Power Edge 1800 with 3.00 GHz Xeon Processor 800 FSB, 1 GB of RAM
Dell Power Edge 1600 with 2.80 GHz Xeon Processor 533 FSB, 1 GB of RAM
Combined into one:
Dell Power Edge 2950 Dual Core 1.6 GHz Xeon Woodcrest Processor, 4 GB of RAM
However, the CPU utilization on this new server is maintaining at about 90% with 3.82 GB of RAM used as well. It's a Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 edition running SQL Server 2005 SP2 x64. I have searched around Microsoft's website for any information that could be of help to me, but I was unable to locate anything. I was hoping that someone could provide some insight as to why this might be occuring. Or if this is a known issue.
Thanks,
Peter

Hello!
Here are some steps to take after upgrading your SQL Server from 2K to 2K5. (This quote is from BOL)
After upgrading the Database Engine to SQL Server 2005, complete the following tasks:
Register your servers - Upgrade removes registry settings for the previous SQL Server instance. After upgrading, you must reregister your servers.
Repopulate full-text catalogs - The upgrade process marks your databases as full-text disabled. Catalogs must be repopulated, but this operation is not run automatically by Setup because it can be time-consuming. As this operation enhances the performance of your SQL Server 2005 installation, administrators should plan to repopulate full-text catalogs at a convenient time.
Update statistics - To help optimize query performance, we recommend that you update statistics on all databases following upgrade. Use the sp_updatestats stored procedure to update statistics in user-defined tables in SQL Server 2005 databases.
Update usage counters - In earlier versions of SQL Server, the values for the table and index row counts and page counts can become incorrect. To correct any invalid row or page counts, we recommend that you run DBCC UPDATEUSAGE on all databases following upgrade.
Configure your new SQL Server installation - To reduce the attackable surface area of a system, SQL Server 2005 selectively installs and activates key services and features. For more information on how to activate SQL Server 2005 features, see SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.

High CPU Utilization with Weblogic 9.1 Console

I have experienced a high CPU usage while logging into Weblogic 9.1 console and navigating to various pages. On a 12 CPU box, the CPU shoots up as high as 50%.
Any clues?

I have observed the same on a 2MHz XP.
It takes about 30 seconds to present the console login formula, and subsequent browsing to various pages in the console might even block the CPU 100% for hours.
The CPU load is consumed by wls and not by the browser running the console.
The server is started with
weblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=true
The behaviour is observed running with both embedded jrockit and JDK 1.5.0_06

High CPU utilization with JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE

Hello there,
since I updated from Java SDK 1.4.0 to 1.4.1_01 I recognized a problem with MDI Java applications using a JDesktopPane with JInternalFrames. When the drag mode of the internal frames is set to OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE, which should have a better performance than the LIVE_DRAG_MODE the cpu utilization goes nearly up to 100% an the drag of the frame is quite slow.
Does anybody else experience this problem?
(The problem exists in the application I develop and also in the IDE Netbeans, I use for development)
I am not sure if this is the right place for my problem, so if there is a better one to post it to, please tell me.
Thanks

NSAPI plugin has high CPU utilization on Sunone web server 6.0 SP5

Hi,
I am running WL 6.1 SP3 with pluginProxy SP03 on Sunone web server 6.0SP5 on Solaris.
Seeing very high CPU utilization with 3 threads running wl_proxy (about 33% each).
Any latest NSAPI pluginproxy patch I can use to fix this?

I'm having the same problems as all the above posts. I run a colloborative tool which uses IPlanet as a directory server and I receive the Event ID:25 Source: WebServer 6.0 error as well as Event ID:0 Source:https-admnserv6.0 which gives "the local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer". I have 3 servers built and all exhibit the same errors.

High CPU Utilization in 7603 router with RSP720-10GE

Hi everyone
We have a 7603 router with "RSP720-10GE" and we have high cpu utilization due to high amount of interrupts.
The output of “show cef drop” and “show ip cef switching statistics” commands show lots of packets that have been dropped by CEF.
But CEF is enabled on every physical interfaces and on every GRE tunnel that we have on this router.
As I understand the output of “show ip cef switching statistics” command shows some of the reasons for CEF dropping packets like “Routed to Null0” but I don’t know how to solve them. For example I can’t delete routes to Null0 because it’s going to cause routing loops in our network. Could you please help me

Hey,
The output shows high interrupt to CPU, So collect the last output multiple times to see if the DROP values are incrementing. Also configure NetDr captures to see what packets are punted to CPU. I am adding a link for same:

Desktop Window Manager high CPU utilization

I have several Windows 2012 servers that are showing high CPU utilization (70% or higher) coming from the Desktop Window Manager. I do not have the Desktop Experience feature installed on these machines. The interesting thing is that the process
for dwm.exe does not show up as a service that I can stop or restart. I've read through the various posts about re-registering dmw.exe so that the service shows up again, but nothing has worked. Since these are application and file servers with
no need for regular desktop use, I don't really need any fancy desktop graphics or performance. I have the Advanced Performance Options set to 'Background services'. Can anyone tell me how to stop dwm.exe or at least reduce it's CPU footprint?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
Based on my research, On Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, DWM is used at all times and cannot be disabled.
For more detailed information, please refer to this article:
Desktop Window Manager is always on:
To troubleshoot the high usage of CPU, I would like to recommend to follow this article to collect and analyse the relevant log files and dump files:
Troubleshooting High CPU performance issues - Part 1
If you want to analyse the dump file, I also recommend you can open case and contact Microsoft support.
I hope this helps.

CB21AG High CPU Utilization

We have a problem with CB21AG cards causing high CPU utilization on WinXP. Task manager shows the CPU pegged at 100%, but the individual processes don't add up to 100%. IE, there are "missing" CPU cycles. Using Process Monitor from SysInternals, we see that NDIS (Windows network wrapper) is creating numerous DPCs and causing the CPU usage. Shutting down the wireless card fixes the problem. It's an LWAPP environment (WiSM 4.0.217), with various versions of the client drivers up to ADU 3.6.
Does anyone know anything about this?

It'd be hard to say anything for certain without seeing all the test stuff ... but it sounds like old or corrupt drivers / utilities.
There are some Microsoft-side patches / updates that may be useful as well.
Try reloading the (and / or updating) the drivers & utilities. If you're using Zero Wireless Config, try (at least for experimentation) the Cisco utilities (ADU) or vice-versa. It might narrow down which specific software modules are involved.
IF you have a spare card, it might also be worth a shot ... there could be a bad software component in EPROM that's causing the problem.
I believe some of the driver/utility updates include updated firmware loads for the NIC too.
Good Luck

WAAS experiencing high CPU utilization

We are monitoring WAAS devices for CPU utilization in our Network.Currently we have set the threshold for 70%. At this threshold we see a large number of alerts from WAAS crossing 70% CPU utilization. I guess 70% CPU utilization is normal for WAAS. Am I right???

Hi Daniel,
Yes, during the peak hours sometimes the CPU shoots even upto 95% and then in next 5 min comes down to normal below 70%.
Since our threshold is 70%, we get a lot of inactionable(because it becomes normal in 5-10 miinutes only) alert.I was wondering if we could change the threshold.
One of the Cisco Tac Engineer replied to the above question :
That is true. It is normal to have a high CPU utilization in normal Operation as we mentioned earlier it runs on underlying Linux kernel and linux does not use Page file rather it uses Maximum RAM that it could .

Mohit

SCCM 2012 Agent and high CPU utilization.

We have numerous Windows workstations and servers running with very high CPU utilization. Services are slow to start and login can take an hour. The service running with high CPU is svchost.exe, we determined that it is Windows Management Instrumentation
that is causing high CPU in svchost.exe.
If we stop or uninstall the SCCM 2012 Agent, everything calms down on the computer.
Any ideas as to way this would be?

Same issue seen on a clients and KB2617858 resolves it. I am deploying using the App model no problem with x86 and x64 hotfixes with requisite OS requirements. Is there a way to configure to only apply to those that it applies to...if that makes sense. I
ask because my B&C x64 W7Sp1 image does not require it (I have not included it) whereas other non-B&C do - what's the condition or applicability (or non-applicability) if not as listed on the KB..! If I run it one W7 machine it says it doesn't apply
and isn't already, whereas another it installs..!
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2705357:
To apply this hotfix, you must be running one of the following operating systems:
Windows 7
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
..obviously, if a client has the issue it applies :)

High CPU Utilization by J2EE engine

Dear team,
I want to find the tread causing high CPU utilization within the "jlaunch" process. As stated in SAP note: 743204. I ran the command "tps -a <pid> -a" in the development box and it it running fine. But the same command in the production portal is giving us the following error:
jueppci:/#/usr/sap/tps -a
Initialize measurement (10 sec) ...Memory fault(coredump)
I did a strings command om the core and I got
jueppci:/#strings core
libdl.so
Why is tps not running properly ?

Hello,
Thanks Russell. It is HP-UX 11.31 (11i v3). We have opened a Very High Message with SAP. SAP AG and HP are working with us to solve this issue. We will be applying some patches and doing a lot of Java parameter changes !
I'll update the solution once the system is stable and the case with SAP is closed.

3G High CPU utilization when waking

Recently gave my iPhone 3G to my wife, restored it to a new phone, then synced it with her information, music, applications, etc. She previously had used an iPod touch, and basically was trying to upgrade her to an iPhone.
The phone worked fine when I had it. I only had a short time with this specific phone as it was replaced under Apple Care about a week and a half before turning it over.
Now it pretty consistently is unresponsive when trying to wake it. By bringing up the System Activity Monitor App as soon as possible after powering it up, and leaving that app active when putting it to sleep I can see that the CPU gets slammed for a while during initial startup and has a significant period of very high CPU when waking. At this point I believe the cause of the unresponsive behavior is that the CPU is maxed out doing something.
I've compared the running processes to an iPhone 3Gs and they were identical except the 3G was missing the MobileMusicPlaye until I brought up the iPod on that phone.
There are 2 things about the initial setup of this phone for my wife that are causing me some concern;
1) When first connected to iTunes after the Factory Reset I was prompted to restore an older backup than the iPod Touch one I took right before the swap. I didn't realize it at the time and accepted that restore.
2) I was prompted to upgrade and followed through with an upgrade to 3.1.2 after the Factory Reset even though the phone was at 3.1.2 before the swap.
At this point I'm thinking about doing another Factory reset and set it up by sync only (no restore) but not looking forward to the time investment that will take.
Any ideas on where the high CPU utilization is coming from on wake? Is that a reasonable theory that the high CPU is causing it to be unresponsive when first woken up.
Any other insight from others that have been through this?

I ended up restoring the 3G phone to Factory settings and then sync'ing the desired information / applications onto it (did not restore the previous backup). The behavior is improved but this phone does seem to get bogged down when waking (observing high CPU utilization when monitoring with System Activity Monitor and experiencing sluggish / jerky response to user actions with no applications or just Mail running). The periods of non-responsiveness are not as long or as severe at this point, but still noticeable.
I'm at a loss since under the conditions I'm observing this there is nothing but Apple software running on the device (behavior is present with or without SAM showing me the CPU utilization). I'm a little suspicious that it might have something to do with re-establishing the WiFi connection, but it seems to continue for a bit after the WiFi icon appears in the status bar.
I'm probably going to make a genius appointment to see if they have any other ideas.
