shellex/Hotot — Issue #118: Unresponsiveness/High CPU load when composing or resizing.
Author: Anakinmi
Created: 2012-01-29 13:00:15+00:00
State: open

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Click Compose, change view or click menu-icon top left corner
2. Start typing or resize window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- Expected responsiveness: near-instant.
- Actual responsiveness: multiple seconds between key-press or mouse-clicks and results on screen.

If Hotot-compose is open, or when window is being resized, CPU-load goes above 90%, maxing out CPU.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and what Desktop Environment?

- Hotot: Hotot 0.9.7.37 (Ada)
- OS: Crunchbang Linux, based on Debian
- Window Manager: Openbox 3.5
- WebKit: libwebkit-1.0-2
- GTK: libgtk2.0-0
- PyWebKitGtk: 1.1.7-1+b1

Please provide any additional information below.

- Intel Atom N270 (1.6Ghz), 2GB ram (1.6GB free), SSD, 2GB swap (0% used).
- Related to Issues 310, 447 and maybe 451, back at googlecode?
- Attached 2 screenshots of "top", one where hotot is not focused, and one where it is, to show difference in CPU-load.
