Use of titles causes excessive CPU usage

I have been working on a project in PP CC (all latest updates installed) for the past week.  I have had no problems regardless of the increase in size of the project over time.  Yesterday I began adding a few titles.  After I added the titles the application slowed down considerably.  It pushed one of the CPU cores to near 100% and never came down.  I restarted the application twice and the same thing happened.  It was always fine until I began working with titles.  Today, I had been working for about 3 hours and the same thing happened though I had done nothing with titling.

Thanks, Ann.  I did try that as well as loading up a different project without titles and they both worked fine.  I did discover more about the problem this morning.  It only seems to happen when I have the play head over a piece of crawling text on the timeline.  After a period of time at least one CPU core hits 100%, sometimes two, and everything slows down.  If I move the play head off to a position on the timeline without the text, the problem goes away after a few seconds.  I am able to repeat this though the amount of time it takes to occur varies from a few minutes to half an hour.  So, it seems that the work-around for the problem is to not leave the play head sitting over an instance of crawling text for any length of time.

  • 10.9.4 excessive CPU usage

    And now a strange case...
    Installed 10.9.4 but it became unusable because of excessive CPU usage. Reverted back to 10.9.3 but now the problem persists!
    Basically, if connect the Ethernet cable the CPU increases and temp raises from 45C to 95C. As soon as I remove the Ethernet cable and stay on WiFi things go back to normal. I already have done the most obvious, i.e. reinstalling the OS from time machine, removing launch daemons and plug-ins, and fixing disk permissions. Check the details below. Any idea? It would be much appreciated. I'm getting nuts with this.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Spreadsheet functions causing 100% CPU usage

    Running ColdFusion Enterprise 9,0,0,251028 with JVM 1.6.0_14 on a Windows 2003 server.   I am finding that when using <cfspreadsheet> and the spreadsheet functions to build a spreadsheet the server CPU maxes out at 100% while the spreadsheet object is being built.   The spreadsheet is not overly large or complex:  10-15 columns and 400-500 rows.   This behavior is consistent - it happens every time, even when building a simple spreadsheet with 1 column and a few rows.  Is anyone else experiencing this?    Is it a known problem with a fix?  Thank you.

    I was able to root cause the excessive CPU usage to a single-CPU virtual machine.  When I ran the same code on dual-CPU virtual machines the CPU usage went to 50-60% but never reached 100% and stayed there as it does on the single-CPU virtual machine.   So there appears to be an issue with JRun and Apache POI on single-CPU machines.  I simply had my system administrator add another CPU to the virtual machine and the problem no longer occurs.

  • Mountain Lion Mail excessive CPU usage

    Evers since upgrading to ML 10.8 and 10.8.1, Mail heats the CPU up to 100% after a couple of minutes and remains like this forever. Absolutely reproducible. Mail is unusable for me.
    I have some 25.000 Mails in my Inbox. Sampling Mail  always reveals the same pattern. Looks like Mail is constantly iterating over my 25.000 emails and tries to layout them. Looks crazy to me.

    This problem was solved.
    After a lot of frustration (restoring Lion backup and performing the update several times), I managed to have a stable installation without the problem of high CPU usage and high temperatures.
    It seems that the installation procedure has an issue, when your user directories are located in an external disk. In this particular case, after the installation of the server software, the two links in /Network/Servers directory, pointing to the / directory, do not get created, so you need to do that manually.
    That, in itself, was not causing my excessive CPU usage, but it didn't allow my users to log in the server. Thinking that this was the issue described in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2938, I was running the command described in the previous link to fix the issue. That command (sso_util configure -r REALM_NAME -a diradmin afp) was what was killing my CPU.
    All is well, when it ends well, I guess.

  • Websites with flash content are causing tremendous CPU usage!!

    Greetings!
    I finally installed the long-awaited version 4 of firefox, and I am really disappointed. In addition to slight sluggishness now and again, it turns out that websites with Flash content (even those sites with a little flash advertising banner) are causing my CPU usage to really go up.
    It's slowing down my machine, making my CPU fans spin loudly, and making for a disappointing web browsing experience.
    I have disabled all add-ons, and done the usual. Even tried installing Chrome for the first time ever!
    The problem is definitely Flash + Firefox 4.
    I have created a brand new profile, but no dice. Wondering if anyone else experiences a high CPU load on pages with flash...

    Adobe Flash Player has also been crashing periodically on 2 of my computers, I'm still running XP, one of them a powerful HTPC, Dell Optiplex 755 SFF over a new Cable Internet Connection. Buffering, Lagging, crashing when streaming video for Catchup TV (Freeview) via Firefox Adobe Flash Player Add-On, does not happen on Youtube though. Lagging & Crashing does NOT occur AT ALL in Google Chrome, but I hate that browser.
    Have tried the usual disabling Flash Hardware Acceleration + Protected Mode, setting storage to Unlimited, disabling FF Ad Blockers + Hardware Acceleration, cleaning Caches, updating program versions, everything bar reinstalling programs. It's not happening in Chrome, why in Firefox?

  • Adobe stuffs cause high CPU usage

    I just download Creative Cloud a few days ago for Primiere CC and since then there is always something from it that causes ~50% CPU usage. I tried to end the process by Task Manager and something else just replace the previous one's place. Sometimes it's CEP Service Manager, sometimes it's Core Sync, CEF Helper, etc. and it's driving me nut! I mean like right now Firefox only takes about 20% while those things just sky rocket the CPU usage. What should I do? How do I stop this?

    Since I installed CC, my laptop has been running very hot too.

  • ITunes causes 90% CPU usage when the info window scrolls the song title

    What's up with that little info window under the iTunes title? When the song title exceeds the width of the window iTunes does a little right to left banner scroll of the text. Whenever this happens the CPU jumps to 90% and stays there. This is especially bad for radio stations that have long text message strings in their titles. I have to keep iTunes minimized to avoid this GUI bug.
    This just started happening with iTunes 7 and 7.0.1
      Windows XP  

    iTunes on MBP in miniplayer mode and streaming to airport express.  Wife changes songs through iPad remote and the CPU spikes to 90% and stays there.  If I then select regular window mode, the CPU drops back to 7-8% (where it was before song change).  It doesn't happen if I change songs through the MBP iTunes, only through the iPad remote.  It's like it starts a process and doesn't close it out.
    There's a couple of different things that can be going on here. Let's check on the one that involves the Mini Player first.
    It seems to happen when the main iTunes player is set to Cover Flow rather than List view.
    If you set iTunes to List view prior to switching to the Mini Player, does that stop the excessive CPU use while in Mini Player?

  • Applet causes high CPU usage

    Hallo,
    I have a strange problem with my applet. It displays medical images. After loading Image the CPU usage of java jiumps to 100% on single core processors and to 50% on 2 core processors, and stays high, without any interaction of user. I've used Java VisualVM to profile the applet and it says that: javax.swing.SystemEventQueueUtilities$ComponentWorkRequest.run() 94.76343 787851 ms (94,8%) 58823 times invoked is
    I'm not sure this is the cause of the problem. I don't use any loops while noone is interacting with the applet. Has anyone idea or suggestion what's going wrong?
    This CPU load is independent of browser and operating system. I've profiled it on firefox.
    with regards
    Rafal Ziolkowski

    Good job figuring it out.
    Rule of thumb to prevent future problems: the paintComponent is used for painting and should do nothing else - setBorder() is a state change and thus does not belong in the paintComponent() method. You can all relate it back to a general programming rule of thumb: a function or method should perform only one task.

  • Recently FireFox often has been causing 100% CPU usage and locks up until it finishes the process (various ones). Clearing cookies/cache didn't help. Any ideas?

    Windows 2000 SP4, 1g RAM, Firefox 9.0.1
    We keep IE6 and Firefox open simultaneously for 2 different mail accounts. Firefox was always much faster even with 3 or 4 tabs open, but for the past couple of weeks when trying to update a screen the CPU suddenly goes to 100% usage and of course nothing will move until the particular process is finished. Closing one or more tabs does not help. If I close Firefox completely with Task Manager CPU usage goes back down to nil. After restarting Firefox CPU usage may or may not go back up depending upon whether it tries to continue the previous task that was locking it up.
    It did not do this with Firefox 3.6 but then again it didn't happen immediately after updating to 9.0.1 either.

    100% CPU usage occurred most often toward the end of the working day when busy trying to print on-line postage. We don't have any memory-consuming plugins but according to the knowledge base articles Firefox memory usage can gradually increase during the day even if you do nothing. It seems that may be the problem so we close and restart Firefox more often now as that usually fixes the problem. However, if we get stuck on a particular website update that causes the CPU to to go 100%, we can always start Firefox without previous tabs so the update will stop, or simply use a different browser until we have time to let the computer play games with itself.
    So our workaround of restarting Firefox turns out to be the final solution (until we find something better - will post it if we do). Vic

  • Flash: excessive CPU usage

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.7 and latest version of flash 10,0,32,18, and I notice that CPU usage is really excessive for pretty much any page that has even a small flash content embedded in Firefox 3.5.1. Just having for example a paused flash video uses 16% CPU constantly, and playing the video spikes the CPU usage from 56 to 76%.
    And this is on dual Xeon, 2.8 GHz, 8 core Mac Pro with nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB video card, and 32 GB of RAM. I can only imagine how really frustrated users on notebooks must be.
    I think flash is really reaching the tipping point where it is becoming unusable and it is really time to start looking into sane alternatives.

    I do agree.  Though, to be fair, people use the software that Adobe creates to create their own software that runs in the flash player.  The player can be as well written as it is possible to be, and still have this type of problem if independent developers write poor software.  This is not in Adobe's control.
    My note is that it is a known bug for player 10 to be excessively wasteful on the Mac platform, regardless of how well the program running is programmed.  This is a bug that they are currently working on fixing, to all publicly facing knowledge.
    The only way to truly get rid of this is to get the developers out there in the world educated in good programming habits. Actionscript 3 has done a lot in terms of pushing the community towards that goal, but bad practices are still extant.  People don't remove event listeners when they are finished with them.  People don't set variables to null for garbage collection.  Both of these are probably the biggest problems, leaving things in memory that you aren't even using anymore.  And there is nothing Adobe can do about it except attempt to educate the masses.

  • Mixer window can cause high CPU usage, crashes

    This is probably one of the weirdest bugs I've seen for a while. Here are the steps that I reproduce it for me, maybe someone will want to try this out and see if they get the same.
    1) Open an Empty Project template.
    2) Create 16 instrument tracks when it gives you the dialog. (even 1 will be enough, but the effect is clearer the more tracks you create)
    3) Open the mixer. Either in a window or in the pane.
    4) Now create a "multi-timbral" instrument track with the plus button (use the checkbox there).
    5) Select the 16th track, and now select one of the arrange tracks of the multi-timbral instrument.
    6) Open up Activity Monitor from your Utilities folder in Finder and see how much Logic is taking up CPU. It should be significantly higher than the idle state. On my MBP it'll be around 80%.
    This is not a problem in itself, because when reproducing it like this the high CPU usage goes away when you select another track and won't return if you select the multi-timbral instrument again.
    However, I have sessions where this will continue happening with a multi-timbral instrument all the time. Not only that, I've had Logic crash when this starts happening. And this whole thing will slow down the UI considerably when it's active.
    The workaround that seems to work for me is simply not keeping the mixer window/pane open.

    This is one of the issue which has already been raised to Microsoft and hopefully a public build will be available soon  in next cumulative update pack .
    There are variety of reason for this starting for password mismatch or password not given , SFTP adapter unable to connect and so on .
    There is good post here in below link for this issue
    http://thoughtsofmarcus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/leaving-password-blank-in-biztalk-2013.html
    Another greate artcicle is by Nino which states these issues .SFTP adapter is  protocol  sensitive and some configuration by server side, can cause a lot of crazy situations

  • Call Park service causing high CPU usage

    Hi,
    I've got a Lync 2013 pool with 4 servers running.  Everything is working fine except I notice that when I enable the call park service, the CPU usage goes from hovering at around 4% to jumping all over the place (anything from 11% to 30%).  I've
    not seen this behaviour on any other Lync platform I have deployed.
    All machines are virtuals, running 2 Sockets with 8 cores each.  Each server has 25GB of RAM.  Any perfmon report I run only confirm that the Call Park Service is using a lot of CPU resource (compared with other services)
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Please check if the CPU usage drops down when you stop the call park service.
    Please check the Call Park Configurations are correct by articles at

  • SQL query against ConfigMgr DB causing 100% cpu usage on SQL server throughout day

    Hi, I am hoping someone here may have an idea of what I can do to resolve this as I am not much of a SQL guy. Here is what I know. Throughout the day, monday-friday, my ConfigMgr SQL server sits at 98-100% processor usage.
    Using the following query I have narrowed down the culprit of the high cpu usage throughout the day:
    SELECT p.spid, p.status, p.hostname, p.loginame, p.cpu, r.start_time, r.command,
    p.program_name, text
    FROM sys.dm_exec_requests AS r,
    master.dbo.sysprocesses AS p
    CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(p.sql_handle)
    WHERE p.status NOT IN ('sleeping', 'background')
    AND r.session_id = p.spid
    Even though my knowledge of SQL is light, I believe the following output clearly defines the thread responsible for the high cpu usage. This "program_name" is present throughout the day and as long as its there, cpu usage remains at or near 100%:
    The text output of the above culprit is as follows (sorry this is long):

    Normally, this summary job every few mins which only summarize last few mins sending history. If the job was not running for long time, the first time, this sproc will summarize a lot more data than normal. So it could fail which will make things worse and
    worse over time.
    If sending summary data is not a big concern here, you can manually insert a dummy row with most recent time as Summarizationtime, so that, when summary job kicks in next time, it will only summary short interval data.
    DrsSendHistory is that the table records every sending on every group. This table is one of the key of replication logic. For your environment, on primary site, it could have up to 24(hrs) * 60 (mins) / 2 (sync interval) * 36(secondary sites) records per
    day for Secondary_Site_Replication_Configuration group and 24 * 60 / 5 * 22 records for Secondary Site Data.

    Hi Umair,
    Thank you for the reply. My plan was to go ahead with your suggestions but what I tried first was to get my VM guy to give the SQL server access to more CPU resources. We had already configured it with what would have seemed to be plenty, as per Microsoft's
    sizing requirements, but I figured it couldn't hurt to rule out - he gave the SQL server access to a huge portion of the host processing power and since then CPU usage on the server has NOT been an issue.
    It would appear that the large amounts of secondary sites we have just simply put a lot of stress on the SQL server with out of the box replication settings. Since the entire VM host is for System Center only, and our other System Center servers are using
    very little resources, this solution has ended up being valid.
    Thanks again for everyone's help with this.

  • Copying from USB NTFS device with Dolphin (KDE) causes 100% CPU usage

    I am copying +/- 30 GB of Music files (flac) from my external USB HDD which is formatted as NTFS.
    I have installed ntfs-3g and am experiencing near 100% CPU usage. What's wrong?
    Additional info: I am using KDE and initiated the copying through dolphin. KDE's system monitor only shows CPU usage near 100%, but no processes in the process view could be responsable.
    Thanks!

    What mount options are used for that ntfs drive?
    Edit: There are many similar threads but I couldn't find a solution other than trying out some kernel and cpufrequtils fun.

  • Small Acrobat file causes 100% cpu usage with v. 7.09

    Using Acrobat professional 7.09
    I have a small acrobat file (94k) that causes my cpu to peg at 100% I used acrobat professional to convert an eps file to a pdf file. Is there a general known issue that could be causing this?

    > Looking at the plot, you might want to consider trying to use a vector graphic in the future. It looks like a plot that you may have created in MATLAB or such. In that case, why not just print to the PDF.
    I used matplotlib, which can generate png, eps, svg, or even pdf files. The pdf in question was converted by acrobat from eps, which has worked well for me in the past. I wish acrobat pro 7 could handle svg.
